I loved Liesel's passion and enthusiasm for language throughout. Her artistic mind would mirror that of any bookworm reader, and her friendships detailed their character development. The plot was both informative and interesting - understanding of how WWII may have affected the German people. There were so many beautiful quotes in this story that my entire copy is now stained with pencil underlines and tears.Â
My only criticism is the time it took for me to become absorbed in this tale, as Death's narrative POV and writing style took a while to get used to.Â
