 Death has a heart after all July 19, 2008
Ms. L. C. Paine (Newquay, UK)
A great idea for Death to be the narrator and one that works here. The insanity of the Second World War is captured in these pages brilliantly and the lives of ordinary Germans during this unforgettable moment in history is a story that is not often told. It's not always an enjoyable tale, but it's one that should be read - and not in a 'schoolbook-that-everyone-is-forced-to-get-through' kind of way, but in a 'this-will-add-another-key-dimension-to-an-epic-six years' sort of manner. The only reason that I didn't give the book 5 stars is I thought the ending was a litle unsatisfactory.
 WOW!A must read! July 18, 2008
supermario13 (Leicester)
When i first brought this book, all my friends thoguht I was mad buying a book that size. I didn't really care because when I first began to read it, it drew me into the story and mixed me into it. I love this book so much. Its an extrodanary tale, truley amazing. Forget about the size,because youll love it if your one of thoose people who lopve to read a really good book.Just read it and you will understand. If your not too scared about the whole death thing, which i think everybody can overcome, its amazing!!!
So much better than I had expected July 16, 2008
Amy M (London)
A friend bought me this book as a gift as she had enjoyed it. I read the cover and on hearing that the book was narrated by death I was a bit sceptical. However it was a wonderful read and after I was a few pages in I couldn't put it down. I even had to hold back tears on the tube at certain points!
Loved It July 15, 2008
G. Brennan (London)
I purchased this book a while ago and probably never would have read it, spurning it for its intimidating weightiness for smaller reads more suited to my lifesytle. However I spent last week in hospital and this book got me through it, I read it quickly, not due to the boredom but due to its help in suspending reality and the authors ability to draw you in. Its not the type of book I would typically read, but it was great, and as much as I wanted to finish it, I now have the difficult task of finding a book to follow it.
Extremely good July 14, 2008

I thought it was extremely good. Very well and cleverly written. Although, it is very sad when the whole street gets bombed in the end and all of liesels friends and family get killed. Oh well, at least max survives and they reunite when the war is over.
