This book is amazing. I loved the unusual choice of narrator (Death) - it lends a very different tone to the Third Reich.

Zusak's writing is exquisite. "He does something to me, that boy. Every time. It's his only detriment. He steps on my heart. He makes me cry."

Everyone needs to read this damn book.

This was a reread for me. I didn't particularly enjoy it the first time round but really liked it this time.

Tolkien's world building is amazing - it's so thorough and well done. The only thing that stops me from giving this five stars is that his writing style annoys me; I find it overly descriptive and laborious. Aside from this, the man really is a genius.
