I was hooked up right from the beginning till the end . The journey was beautiful. It has it’s moments of joy, sadness and love . I laughed, cried and sometimes awestruck about how someone can write such a beautiful story with such simple writing. This book is undoubtedly there in my most favorite books. Highly recommended

Great story. And definitely a unique perspective. Hard to read at times because of the sad subject matters, but I appreciated Zusak's poetic writing style, finding those precious strands of beauty woven in moments weaved into such tragedy.

J'abandonne à mi-chemin. Ce livre est chiant comme la mort.

4.25 stars.

Beautifully written. Manages to stand out among the countless WWII books. The characters are fully-realized, the plot engaging, and Death as the narrator was unique without being hokey. Definitely recommend.
