The Book Thief by Markus Zasak

First, the writing of this book is amazing.  It is Death telling the story of Liesel and the people in her community.  The Nazi party, Air raids, book burning and learning to read.  Learning to care for other people.  It's about being a family, when you are not blood.  It's about protecting others.  It's an amazing story.  And the words are rich, the story takes on many layers.  Stay with this book.  Read it to the end. You'll thank me later.
