Changing my rating of this to 5 stars, just because it's been 3 months since I'd read this book, but I'm still finding myself thinking about it every now and then

I was supposed to sleep early today, but then I thought I'd read a bit before sleeping...but now it's 1AM and I finished the book, so we all know how that went.

This was so good. Hands down, my favorite in the series so far.

Actually didn't just read this volume, but this entire reading order: http://philthec.blogspot.com/2012/06/avengers-vs-x-men-reading-order.html

It's been roughly 5 years since I read this book for the first time and it immediately became my favorite book of all time.

In those 5 years, I attempted to reread this book several times, but never pushed through with it - not because I didn't feel like reading it necessarily, but because I was worried. I was so worried that my first impression of this book came from a time when I hadn't read that many great books yet, and a time when my taste in books was so different from what it is currently, and that I would end up disappointed by The Book Thief when I reread it.

Well, I finally finished rereading it, and I now know I had nothing to worry about.

It's been 5 years, and yet I still fell in love with these characters. I still teared up at the ending. I still thoroughly enjoyed this book.

I can now say with total confidence that this truly is one of my favorite books. I have nothing bad to say about it.
