I have waited to read this book for a few years now and I am not sure why I did that. This book is phenomenal and gives a different insight into World War 2 that I haven't often seen in literature, especially in young adult literature.

Susan did a beautiful job in making his characters as human as possible. They were all multidimensional and we'll thought out. I truly loved them.

The narrator being who he was have this another deeper level that I very much respected. It became more than just Leisel's story and instead became everyone's story.

Overall, I adored this book and need to pick up another of Zusak's.

Deirdre of the Sorrows? Check
The Catte raid of Cooley? Check
Cuchallain's (sp?) fight at the ford to hold up said raid? Check

A shadow of Gulls is thus based primarily on the 'Ulster' series of legends, and (for me) was one of the rare instances where literature is synonymous with entertainment!
