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.

This was a FANTASTIC book. It took me about 100 or so pages to get into it, but once I did I was hooked.
If you are a person looking for a quick read, then this book is not one for you. The author writes and amazing story of love and loss in WWII Nazi Germany from the view of Death itself.
I laughed and cried with this book. I would recommend it anyone that enjoys an awesome read, especially one that deals with the WWII era.

Wow, this was intense. Real intense. But if you are looking for a happy ending, DO NOT read this. This book is great but sad.
Oh my gosh, I just finished this book. I abandoned it twice, mainly because I could not invest time in it. If you are looking for fast read, look elsewhere. I finally muscled through by listening to the audio version in the car. It is lathered in similes. In fact, Zusak has a knack for using figurative language throughout the novel. Death made a great narrator. While this book is YA, I consider adults would appreciate the story too.
awesome, beautiful, sad, amazing writing. Probably the best book I've read in a long time. Really glad that it's so popular and that the movie (which looks great) is coming out soon. It's one of those books that's simply too good. Read it.

Completely, absolutely, brilliantly stunning. Full review to come (when I can figure out how to write it)
