I find this book a very worthy read, definitely worth your time. I enjoyed it and loved each one of the characters, what I did not find appealing was how Death would tell us in advance the characters fate. For me Death commenting on things before they happened killed the tension and made the book dull. Which is too bad because it wouldn't have been otherwise: I would’ve loved to find out by myself.  But I kinda understand the purpose of it: Apart from that, the book is super good, I loved Zuzak’s writing style and his unique outlook. This book is brilliant and matchless!
