Book Thief

I have just finished this book and am very grateful my colleague left for lunch a while ago and so I was in the office by myself.

All the while reading through this gentle, captivating story I kept wondering if I was enjoying it as much as the hype around it said I would. While I was wondering that though, the characters and the story were becoming real to me.

Although a lot of the ending was inevitable I have been sitting at my desk with big, fat tears rolling down my face and sobbing - proper body shaking sobs, not just gentle, polite tears.

What a magical story. You come to care for the characters, who are all so beautifully described. Death, the narrator, has feelings and fantastic sense of irony.

I thoroughly recommend this book.

this book seemd to pop up from nowhere (or maybe i wasn't payin attention)I think i'll have to give it a read after such good praise. and from a moomin too...

This is an amazing book. Unable to put it down and, as Beth says, it stays with you. Unforgettable.

Finished this book - simply stunning has worked is way in to my core I am not going to forget this in a hurry

Still reading but am swept away by it, beautifully written and addictive, don't want it to end - ever

I am really enjoying this book - unusual and a page-turner.
