5.0

If I could give this 6 stars, I would. This is hands-down one of the most well-written books I have ever read. Zusak has a way of introducing characters and making you love them with all your heart then heartlessly revealing how they will die in like, the next paragraph. And even then, even when you know their death is coming, it still hurts like heck when you actually read about it. But seriously though, approach with caution. You will inevitably cry, or at least get teary-eyed.
