OK. I would go as far to say that this, The Book Thief, is my favourite book of all time. Never have I read such a book, or had such a reaction from a book.
This book was written so elegantly and so powerfully and so differently you'd be inhuman not to be captivated by its words. So beautiful and emotional. I even cried.
I don't even know what else to say. I absolutely loved this book. To have been written by death was an extremely intriguing and clever choice by Markus Zusak. The book is not written in chronological order, it goes from past to present to future and back again constantly - like a book of small stories then explains how they got there, then where they will go, and then back to where they are. And I loved that. And even though I knew what was going to happen before it happened (because Death explained beforehand) I still needed to read on.
Such an incredible and ambitious book.
Definitely 5/5, I would give it more if logic allowed it.
I am excited to see how the movie has been made with such a book.
