This book made me sob so much!!
I liked the narration, although the angel of death made me mad when he had to tell us beforehand the destiny of every character! The premise of making the Angel of Death narrate the story was amazing and refreshing!
I loved Max, Rudy, Papa and the mayor's wife. I adored the books Max made for Liesel.
I cried a lot in the end of the book, the words were captivating!
I think the importance of this novel lays in describing the daily life in Germany under the Nazi, the difference of opinions and the silence following a different opinion and the public ignorance of concentration camps.
The German were a victim in this war as well.
This book is a favourite but I cannot read it again..at least not soon!! I loved it so much!
Highly recommended!
