This story is incredible to say the very least. The innocence of a child brought into a strange and terrifying world full of hatred is a hard concept to tackle and portray correctly, but Zusak does it with grace and poise I've never before seen in words. The style of writing alone makes me come back to this book over and over again through the years- it's like the author reached into the corners of my soul and put the words he found down on paper in the most comprehensive and descriptive way I've ever seen. A beautiful and poignant piece that deserves to be read, because though the world it encompasses is scary, there is love at its very core, down to the ink marking the pages.
This book was not my cup of tea. It was an interesting take on a ww2 however it felt slow pace at the beginning.
This book was really good, it brought tears to my eyes!
So well written. Very creative narrator. The way it's written you are able to dive into an emotional subject without being overwhelmed. A unique exploration of a subject not often written from this perspective.
This book is absolutely gorgeous. The narration is unique and colorful, the characters are compelling and relatable, the historical context is engrossing and well executed. The story balances the levity of growing up and the blight of the holocaust perfectly, and the startlingly vivid worldviews contrast and combine to miraculous and heartbreaking effect. I read this book first in eight grade at the height of my juvenile cynicism and it brought me to laughter and tears alike. I make a point to re-read it every year or so, the story simply touches my heart in a way few other things have. Cannot recommend highly enough. Plus, the book's narrator is Death, so that's just dope
