This book flew with me to Seoul and then back to Manila again, I couldn't put it down. SCRATCH THAT. I actually put it down a number of times because I had to let everything sink in. The author did a brilliant job, telling a coming-of-age story in Nazi Germany coupled with literature, music, war, death, grief, family. Something I'll find myself rereading in the future, and recommending to other readers. ...more

This was an incredible book. It was a well researched fictional story about a girl who lived in Germany during World War II. It is a story of heart ache, love, war, death, and life. I enjoyed the fact that death narrated the story and was not evil or scary, but haunted. It was not a quick read and does not have a very happy ending, but it is a book that will stay will you and one that I feel should be read by everyone.
