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.

I think I might have liked this book more if I had read a physical version. Not that the audiobook was poorly narrated, I just think I would have enjoyed seeing the writing written down.
I fell in love with the Dunbar boys, but certain parts of the story didn't sit right with me, and I didn't love the order in which the story was told.
