I've read this before, but I guess it was before I was using Goodreads. 
Wtf was that ending, man? It didn't wrap anything up for me.

A deeply thought provoking piece, Zusak's big picture moment doesn't quite come until the very end. It's a beautiful book
Spoiler and for a moment, briefly, I wondered if I had delved into an inception-like universe.
It was at times funny, heartwarming, and incredibly devastating in how our daily lives also are filled with melancholia. Overall, a lovely book that reminded me how despite being extremely ordinary, I am by no means insignificant.
