A few issues with the structure of the novel

Spoiler

such as Death witnessing things he had no way of knowing or any way for Liesel to have known (Hans tripping over the child’s dead body?), and his morbid obsession with Liesel despite only meeting her three times before he finds her book. Why did he stay to watch her cry over her family and friends when he’s never seen doing that before and actively states he doesn’t like to do so. Slight plot issues which bugged me

but overall an emotional and engaging read
