This book will be in theaters soon so I wanted to read it first. It had been on my to-read list for awhile, but I hadn't gotten around to it. Well, I should've read it earlier. I LOVED it. It's set in Nazi Germany and the narrator is Death. That in and of itself grabbed my attention. (I've been interested in books about the Holocaust and WWII ever since we read The Devil's Arithmetic in 7th grade.) What I didn't know was that the author was so good at writing. There were so many phrases that he used to describe settings and events that painted such a vivid picture in my mind. I wrote down the page numbers down so I could come back and fill y'all in, but then I had to turn the book back into the library. Whoops! I loved how Death described things and how he told the story. I loved how realistic it ended. I just loved it. It's been getting some pretty high praise for good reasons.
