I do not like books where death is a character. I do not like books where a character ends-up writing the book I am reading.
But an interesting perspective on the 1940s from children inside Germany.

Even though I recommend this book and think everyone should read it, it's my least favorite Zusak book, so I cannot in good conscience give it 5 stars. Still absolutely amazing though.
