What a disappointment! I absolutely loved "The Book Thief" Zusak wrote and I was so looking forward to another five star read by him and this definitely was NOT. This book played out in my head like a low budget movie. All the characters came off as really bad cheesy actors and the dialog was so stiff it was laughable. The whole plot was unbelievable without any explanation. I can't understand why this book has so many five star ratings. Some parts were a little humorous and I found The Doorman very charming. Although this book does end on a high note (making it a two star read instead of one,) I found most of it very boring. It contained a lot of inappropriate content for a book aimed towards young adult readers and it still couldn't capture my interest! I cringed every time the Lords name was used in vain. I found all the swearing, smoking, underage drinking, sex, murder, and theft couldn't make up for the flat characters and ridiculous plot.
