Wow. What an amazing, sometimes heart-breaking and beautiful story. This is one of the best books I've ever read. My only piece of advice for potential readers is to keep a box of tissue handy. You will need it.

Why did I wait to read this book? It was amazing! It is a definite tearjerker. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. This might be in my top 5 favorite books of all time.
This book is just amazing. Such a seemingly simple concept but very well written, it's just beautiful. I would highly recommend this to anyone, I couldn't put it down!!

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the book thief story line. It was a little hard to follow at times but such a good story.
