I really enjoyed this when I read it as well, mainly for the fact that it focussed on the normal German people who were caught up in the war in the same way that the innocent civilians were in other countries, without devaluing the suffering that was inflicted against the Jews and other minorities. I too enjoyed Death's humour, and thought that as a narrator his was a fascinating perspective. -- LOL Reading Recommendation Board

I really enjoyed this book. As others have said, the lives of ordinary people, plus the narration by Death, teamed with a good story. The author, Markus Zuzak, has another very good book called The Messenger although it may prove a bit too Australian for some. (NT) -- astrokath, 07:30:22 04/18/09 Sat

That said, I wouldn't put it in the 'it changed my life' category. Some people must have strange lives LOL. (NT) -- astrokath, 07:32:55 04/18/09 Sat
