The Book Thief

I absolutely loved this book from the first page to the last. The narrator of the story was such a frank and sometimes impersonal voice but you came to see him beginning to like the characters and the saddness in his job at times. It was a book that will stay with you.
The storyline shows the struggles of the average German who didn't go along with the war and the neighbors that did. The struggles of the children and teens and how the war impacted them. The friendships you wouldn't have imagined and what it cost each of them. This should be a must read book. I highly recommend this book to any I talk to.
