What can I say. However much I review this book, no one is going to believe me unless they read and find out for themselves. (As I was forever thinking, what's so much to praise, its a fictional book, after all, till I started reading) Zusak made me hate Hitler with more passion and vengeance than second hand non-fictional knowledge of his own heinous deeds.

Is this really a young adult book? I loved it, such great imagery and so moving. A must read.
Very compelling, disturbing, confusing & utterly enjoyable. It's a must read & I'm glad I read it.
