The Book Thief has been on my To-Be-Read list for a while now and with the movie coming out this year, I decided to push it up and start reading it before I watch the movie 
 From the moment I opened the first page I was hooked. 
 There is just something about the writer's style that makes this book so easy to read and light, despite its haunting contents. I think it was simply brilliant that this book was told from the perspective of Death, it really gave me a whole new reading experience not only in a genre/setting I often don't read about but also from the perspective that was chosen was well. 
 This book was so heart wrenching, you really so much for each and every character put on the page as they go through the story. The second half of the book had me choking back tears and sobs. 
 I believe out of all of the characters, Rudy is my favorite which is a bit of surprise even more me; i don't know why but there is something about his character that I admire. 
 Fantastic book 
 5/5
