Oh. My. Lord.

This book.

Less than 72 hours and I was done. Besides working, I just read this book. I couldn't put it down.

Just... wow. If you are looking for a super fast read, something you can not ever put down, read this book.

While some may say it glorifies suicide, I think it gives an insight that a lot of people would avoid. If you're in high school, READ THIS BOOK.

It should be required reading.

And anyone who goes through depression, it gets better. It isn't over.

The Book Thief was a good book. It was not great. The entire book is hurt tremendously by the narrator. He completely, and utterly, ruins the read for me. If you want to avoid spoilers, avoid reading the chapters written solely from the narrator's point of view. The ending would be so so so powerful if it wasn't for the narrator.

Sorry for dragging this out but, seriously, a 5 star book was ruined by this. I only gave it 2 stars because the story itself was amazing.

This was my first time, willingly, reading a classic. It was recommended to me by Chelsea. I must say, it was fantastic. It was so interesting and so much reminded me of our modern world we live in. I enjoyed it so much. I feel like, if I read it again in the future, I'll get even more out of it. But wow.

While a good book, it didn't live up to the hype I expected. I wanted something more than I was given. By the last 70 pages I wanted to quit and move on, but I pushed through. 3 stars is a very generous review.

I enjoyed the insight into the late and great Carrie Fisher but it left me wanting more.
