To be very clear, the book is stellar. Just because I wasn't the biggest fan doesn't mean you shouldn't read it. It's very poignant and picturesque. I simply am not one to connect with so depressing a story.

If you want to get into writing, this is a must read. The way that Zusak depicts everything in this book is unmatched to any other writing style I’ve read. Most beautiful book I have ever read
