Sometimes we fail at our humanity. And when such times are over, we can't wrap our minds around what has happened, how it has gone this far, how the blazing hells we allowed things to happen the way they have.
Living through such times is no easy walk, it's like wading through unending land with no sunshine. no respite from the elements, no comfort or familiarity, no nothing. This is a book set in such times.

If you like heart-wrenching drama with German swearing, this is for you. Personally, this reminded me why I'm not crazy about dramas in general. This is yet another one that falls in the everybody-dies-the-end-ha-ha-ha category.

This was such a brilliant book, that I can't comprehend it still. I loved this books so much, but I promise I'll never, ever, read it again (Though the brilliance of could reel me in again).
This book broke my heart. The brilliance of the prose and the metaphor Zusak uses made it easier for me to live in the story, and harder to get out of as soon as I was done.

Sorry I saw the movie before reading the book. I listened to this on audio. I felt the movie was very true to the book. The book was a bit drawn out. I did not cry as I knew what was going to happen. Would recommend to anyone who likes historical fiction about WWII.
