I enjoyed this book a lot, but won't go so far as to say I loved it. It took a good 200 pages to really get into, but I'm glad I stuck with it. Perhaps I expected to much from this book since I've heard such rave reviews from friends and family.

The narration by the Grim Reaper put an interesting twist into the story-telling as did the sprinkles of foreshadowing throughout the book. Characters were relatable and likable enough. The author's descriptions were vivid.

I'd love a sequel to learn about Liesel's life where this book leaves off.
