Eee gads. 184 - now 185 library holds on this.
It's immaterial whether this book is wonderful or this book is bad or if this book is simply subjective in this rating(as all books are), it looks extraordinary and v. v. interesting. Now all that's left in the review is to read it...

Oh yes. I'm finished. It was devastating. Thank you, Markus Zusak.

This book. Wow. I loved absolutely everything about this book. The narrator, Death, was amazing. After reading this book, I look Death in a new way. Instead of thinking death in a negative way, I think of it in a more lighter tone. I love the relationship between Mama and Papa. I love how Mama has a bigger heart than a person will ever know. I love Rudy. I love Ilsa. I love Papa. I love Max. I love how Death just tells us anyways whose going to die, but nevertheless, my heart was still breaking. ...more

I don't really want to rate it 5 stars, even though its worth it, because I think of it like comparing this book to my other books that I rated 5 stars. And they aren't at all the same. I really loved it though.

No, I did not cry. Even though it was very sad, and I was listening to Au Revoir by One Republic and 30 Lives by Imagine Dragons while I was reading the end of it, it still didn't make me cry.

I really liked the concept of this book; however, I wished something (and I do not know what that something is really) more happened. I also think this story could have been better if there was a naration shift. Good book overall, I just wish I could have made some editorial comments.
