The Book Thief

This is not a fast read. This is the story of a young girl growing up in Nazi Germany. It is a book narrated by death.

I really enjoyed this book. It's not a fast read. It shows an interesting side to the war. Liesel is a small beacon of hope in a very dark time. Over the course of the book she begins to understand what's happening around her. The war, the unfair persecution. Death doesn't always focus on Liesel. At various points he follows other characters. His comments are the most interesting.

The only thing I didn't like us that he tells us of certain characters deaths very early in the story.
