The Book Theif

  OFFICIALLY MY FAVOURITE BOOK!!! (OF THE WEEK? MONTH? YEAR? Not so sure...)
  This book captured my full attention from the very first page. It said:

First the colors.
Then the humans.
  That's usually how I see things.
  Or at least, how I try.

*** HERE IS A SMALL FACT*** 

You are going to die.

  The book is written in the point of view of death. Awesome much? It is the story of a young German girl who has a hove for words, and hence the book stealing. The book was simply alluring. The unique writing style of the author made you feel the emotions the characters were feeling, but still allowed to stay detached, because it was in the view of Death. Writing the book is the point of view of Death kinda made me feel really ironic. But is was a brilliant touch to the story. The book jumps back and forth through the story, and through different people. At times it can be a little confusing, and at others it screamed SPOILER!!!

  This is the book that made me cry for at least the whole last chapter. Plus the number of times I couldn't help but tear up because of the story. I haven't cried that much since forever. And I rarely cry over books, usually I stay pretty calm, and detached in some ways. But this book totally made my cry so so much! I still can't believe the book ended how it ended. It is so unbelievably sad. And BEAUTIFUL. It was a beautiful, and I feel frustrated that sometimes I cannot understand full meanings behind the author's words. I want to understand, but I guess this is one of those books that you read over after a few years and go "Ohhhh! I get it now!" I think I want to buy it, because I want to be able to go "Ohhh! I finally get everything!" when I grow up.
