A different look into a dark time in history. One of the author's biggest points is how powerful words are - and he writes in such a stunningly beautiful way. Such despair and tragedy written in a way that is artistic and flowing but never takes away from the pain of the moment. You feel every letter of every word. Watching Leslie grow from a little girl into a young woman through one of the darkest chapters in the world, you're taken on a journey that will remain with you long after the book is finished.

“Sometimes I imagined how everything looked above those clouds, knowing without question that the sun was blond, and the endless atmosphere as a giant blue eye.”

A great, moving story. Honestly, I felt that it could have been a little shorter, although the length did help us to get to know the characters more. Zusak has a great writing style, and I really enjoyed this book, especially since it left me in tears.
