This is a reread. I initially read The Book Thief about a decade ago; it has stayed with me ever since. This is an amazing story, I dare say one of the best written. I measure a book by how it makes you feel, not just the writer's prose and this story is full of feeling.

I really liked this book. It's narrated by Death and takes place during WWII.
