The Book Thief

This book had no semblance of a plot in the conventional sense. Not many captivating events happen in its 550 pages. Additionally, many people hate it and many people love it. These features alone should mean that I personally would want nothing to do with this book. Instead, for the last five days I read it whenever I had the chance, learning about the humble, unlikely family on Himmel Street. I became immensely attached to the characters and despite the endless spoilers from Death, the narrator himself, the ending hurt me. I respect everyone else's opinions, but this is the way I connected with this book.
