The Book Thief

This book. I didn't know what I should think about it at the beginning,and even halfway through. I even would've stopped reading if there weren't some pages so beautifully written. I continued and thought I would give this book 3 stars max after completing. Then came the ending. The last 10-15% of the book were a river of beautiful words, arranged to heartbreaking sentences. Each new page became more powerful, beautiful and sad. I closed the book and said: “Wow”.

And here is my 5 star rating. If books aren't here to provoke such feelings, than I don't know why I am still reading.
