‘I was foolish.’
‘No,’ Papa said. ‘You were a boy.’
The typesetting and design of the book were alluring; the fonts, chapter headings, the narration styles - the whole arrangement really. The book's punctuation feels poetic and Zusak artistically uses imagery. On the whole, the book felt very comforting, even though its contents (as most books about the holocaust are) were devastating.
