I'm pretty sure my heart just broke. I'm not a crier, and this book actually made tears come to my eyes. This book was amazing. All the characters, they felt real to me. They will always have a special place in my heart. This may be my absolute favorite book I've ever read. It's terribly, terribly sad, but it's touches my heart still in a good way. ...more

This is the most amazing book I've ever read. So much suffer, so much desolation, so much pain, but at the same time, so much love. Thank you Markus Zusak for creating such a beautiful story. It will have a place in my heart forever. ...more

Words will not do justice. I cried. I definitely had the feels and it was all worth it. Boy..... I can't produce a complete sentence. I savored every single chapter, paragraph, sentence, and word. I absolutely loved this wonderfully, written book. ...more
