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.

I really wanted to like this book but it just wasn't there. The concept was good and there were glimmers of great character development but it seemed to much like "World War Z" and "I Am Legend", the movie versions which were not that good. Also the structure of the writing was more ADD than me....KITTY!...Oh, sorry but proves my point. With more structure and personality this books would have been much more enjoyable.

Very well written
I love this book
I loved this book, it is so well written, it draws you in and makes you feel like you are there, brought me to tears a few times. This shockingly true story is a fantastic human look at the atrocities that people suffered in the most notorious concentration camps in the second world war and the real struggle to survive just to beat the Nazi's. I don't think I have read a better book about experiences in a Nazi concentration camp, heart breaking and heart warming.

I gamed away whole afternoons playing this game. The immersion is wonderful, as well as the storyline. I really enjoyed sending out separate parties to do quests from the war table and then seeing their process/changes in the world as I was questing. There's quite a bit of re-play value, as you can choose what class your character can play as well as who you form a romantic relationship with and what classes your team members will be.
