Helpful Score: 3

This is officially one of the most powerful and stunningly beautiful books I've ever read. I was skeptical at first, thinking that using Death as the narrator would end up cliche and empty. However, Zusak performed admirably! He managed to create a Death character who is completely fresh and re-invented. His compassion and confusion constantly shines through and you end up yearning to befriend him. "The Book Thief" will restore your faith in humanity and the power of good. I recommend it to anyone and everyone. If you can't find someone to share it, it is definitely worth buying. You probably won't be able to part with it, either.
