I really enjoyed that the narrator was
Death
, and that he broke the fourth wall in addressing the reader.

I am not going to write much as I realise I will no doubt me making enemies but for me this was just an ok novel - not amazing and not awful - but most definitely not a future classic! To all those people who told me it's a top ten of all time all I can ask is "what do you normally read?"

5 stars

The Book Thief is one of the best book I've read this year. From the writing to the characters, everything was so authentic and captivating. I am too upset by the ending to write a comprehensive review (and also too lazy) but if I ever feel like it, I'm going to write my more detailed thoughts on this because it's a freaking masterpiece.

I think I would’ve absolutely loved this book as a young teenager and I liked it as an adult. Very cool perspective.

made me cry so much…. I really loved death as the narrator. I simply really liked this book :,)
