I found the writing style to be quite interesting especially when it came to the way the story was told. Death doesn’t care about suspense so he always discloses the outcomes waiting to happen in the near future. However he is fascinated by the chain of events that resulted in the said outcomes, and this is what he pays attention to, this is what the story is actually about.

Well said! What a wonderfully written review. I cried, too. This book is now one of my all-time favorites.

I hope it’s okay that I linked to your review on War Through the Generations.

I loved the imagery as well! And the inventiveness of the prose style-the book that the Jewish guys writes is *so cool*.

This is a wonderful book.. I remember having nephews and nieces asking me to give it to them as a birthday present.

Yes, I too added “I Am the Messenger” (the other Zusak book) on my TBR list right after finishing this one :)

One of my absolute favorites. Just a superb book. Your review reminds me that I need to read a second book by Zusak.

I loved this book a lot! It’s interesting because the way it’s narrated, always sort of knowing what is going to happen next and knowing that it’s leading up to something sad, made me try to protect myself from the book, so to speak. I felt like I wasn’t really getting attached to the characters, but by the end I was so sad and drawn into them without even realizing I had been. That was such an interesting experience, to be sort of surprised by how emotionally invested I was in the story.

I know exactly what you mean :)

I too had it on my TBR list since forever, and I started reading it at last because everyone around me was thrilled with it. It did not disappoint me :)

Looking forward to seeing what you think of it :)
