Well, what can I say? A beautiful book, beautiful story, and beautiful characters. 
 I gotta admit that, at the beginning, I was a bit bored. But it got really interesting once Liesel started her reading lessons with Hans. 
 The book gave us a look on Nazi Germany from another point of view. The people who sympathized with the Jews and those who have helped their Jewish friends and the humanity and kindness that lied in their hearts and souls. 
 If I have to choose a favorite character it would be Rudy. I loved that little man. 
 "The consequence of this is that I'm always finding humans at their best and worst. I see their ugly and their beauty, and I wonder how the same thing can be both." 
 And that is the thing about humans, we can simultaneously be both ugly and beautiful. 
 Thank you, Markus Zusak.
