Zusak weaves a tale of love, loss, unusual moral choices for unusual times, friendship, and the power of words all told by death as the narrator. This is a book destined to be discussed for both its content and the craft of the writing itself. This book leaves me with lots of questions and many things to ponder. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/149128?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
