Very realistic characters rendered in a style that is at times intensely poetic and strangely captivating.

It's a coming of age story. But I enjoyed reading it. I loved how it ended.
This is not a love story. It's a story about family, it's a story about an underdog finally finding his place in world. It's a story of brothers. Have I mentioned I loved the ending??

Markus Zusak strikes again. I didn't like this one as much as I liked [b:I Am the Messenger|19057|I Am the Messenger|Markus Zusak|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167188997s/19057.jpg|2737065] or [b:The Book Thief|19063|The Book Thief|Markus Zusak|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ZFi566bFL._SL75_.jpg|878368], but I believe this one was written before those. I am completely drawn to Zusak's writing style and this book was definitely not a disappointment. His writing is what I can only describe as beautiful. It packs a ton of meaning and always leaves me feeling better about life in general. I have a book quote journal, and I never fail to find at least a few gems in Zusak's books to write down (I have so many quotes from The Book Thief and I Am the Messenger, it's ridiculous).

this one was actually good, i'm so emotional right now.
i have a lot of problems with it but the end was so sweet.

Kind of slow and indulgent. Teen boy falls in love with the idea of being in love. Then he has a falling out with his brothers. Unfortunately, the falling out seems weirdly unfounded based off of what happened in the book. It's a good book for the male hopeless romantic. It is the third book in a series, and though considered a standalone, it is missing most character development. That made it a little tough to read. And I don't care enough about the characters to go back and read the first two
