The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

Just a FYI, this post is a little late. I just gotta say... This is a good book if I've ever read on read one! It is definitely the type of book I like. The narrator of this book about Liesel Meminger, a 9 year old girl, is death. The hole book is just basically death telling a story that is Liesel's life. Weirdly enough, there is no suspense, curiosity builds, but that's your imagination, death decides he doesn't like suspense so there will be none. It is a longer book, but very enjoyable. (550 pages to be exact) Oh! I forgot an important part, (it's actually very important, I don't know how I could forget!) Liesel's brother died on a train,and her mother put her up for adoption. She, if I'm correct, is Christian, or something close to it, and she grows up in Nazi Germany. I highly recommend this book!
