As much as I love Zusak, this book just wouldn't end. The main plot was confusing and the B plot was out of order and dragged on about details that didn't matter. Maybe it's a good read to someone else, but it wore me down to finish.

This one is a slow-starter, but it's worth it if you stick with it! I was confused for the first 100-150 pages, but then it all started to come together and fall into place, which makes for a really rewarding reading experience.
