I bought this for my kindle for a cheap 5 bucks and I heard good things about this book from several people.
There's not much to say about this one, for me, just because it was a very good book. I did have a hard time, at the beginning, getting used to Zusak's style of writing, or maybe because Death was the narrator. This book was based during the time of the holocaust and the main character, which is a little girl, is surrounded by death. She ends up getting a knack for stealing books and learning how to read. I really could feel her pain watching a book burning and then her running up to take one of them. I can't even imagine being around at that time.
Her family hides a Jewish teen in their basement and you see the bond grow between the girl and him. I've said before that I really like happy books and this one is just full of sadness, but I'm so glad that I read it. 4 stars
