I should’ve read this a decade sooner, but now that I’ve finally gotten to it, I absolutely love this story. It’s so beautifully haunting. The way you slowly discover who the narrator truly is and the role he plays in Liesel’s life is so well done. WWII books are often over-done, but this one was so unique in both its perspective and plot that it stands out above the rest.
