“This narrator of this book, about Nazi Germany, is Death, which provides a great perspective on a well-worn story, the characters in this one being an orphan girl who is adopted by a very poor German family. ”

I'm so glad that I stuck with it, the last 100 pages were phenomenal. I already knew that the narrator was "Death", this helped I believe. I do not feel knowing that prior to reading it spoils anything, in fact, the book made more sense to me because I knew that. I adored the characters, I became completely invested in them. I actually thought about Leisel, Hans, Rudy, Mrs. Huberman etc. for weeks after I finished the book. It touched my soul like no other book I have ever read. To me that is a sign of a very good book. I can definitely say this is one of my favorite books I have ever read. I cannot recommend it enough.”
