- I liked it, but wouldn't read again.

The amount of five star reviews on this book is not surprising because it was an interesting and engaging read. The story is written in a style I have never encountered before and I was engrossed throughout.

The reason it gets a three star review from me is because its not a book I'd buy, put on my book shelf and read over and over again.

Was it good? Yes.
Did I enjoy it? Yes.
What it original and unique? Yes.

Would I read it again? Not likely.

The is probably one of the best books I have ever read in my like. The author has struck up a methodology of writing that is very unique and as such is very captivating. It's a book about a subject - death - done in such a way that the reader will never forget the essence of the book.

If you are open to reading something very intriguing, sad, yet optomistic, give this book a try.

- Fresh concept, honest characters
I read the first few pages of this book standing in line at the bookstore. The beginning was mysterious, but started to paint a picture of a narrator that seemed defeated. The narrator turns out to be Death, speaking to us from the Nazi Germany during WW2. Death, ironically, is afraid of humans. This set the book off with a delightfully fresh concept.

The simplicity of following her development, her friends, her foster parents, and her time in the Hitler Youth make this book very honest. Though there is a clear plot, revealed partially in the beginning and unfolded properly by the end of the book, the characters that are ... Read More

- Surprise
A group of ladies (all over 65) decided that even though we meet once a month, we needed at least once during the year to read and review a book. Book thief was suggested, but acknowledged that it was during a depressing time of history. I thought I would read the book and then get on to more pleasant reading. I was surprised at what an excellent book this was. I found the story, completely fascinating, and the point of view of the narrator to be excellent. I couldn't put it down. It was a depressing time in Nazi Germany, but a new look at the era. Great book
