This book is amazing. I cannot for the life of me understand why I picked it up soon after it came out and only read like 30 pages, because it's gripping and compelling and new and fresh and sad and poignant and fucking great.

This is the story of World War II told through a child, narrated by Death. It is enchanting and marvelous and cold and sad.
It is hard to read, and easy to read. It should be read. I will read it again.
