I just finished this fabulous book. It was heartbreaking and wonderful at the same time. The story is about Nazi Germany. The story is told by Death. Death uses a third person narrative. He is trying to understand humans who kill and love at the same time. He is haunted by human behavior. He observes the life experiences of Liesel a young German girl is sent to live with foster parents. Hunger, hatred, abandonment, and homelessness are just a few of the themes. And that is just the Germans, never mind the Jews. Death uses colors to illustrate what he sees. The writing is incredible. The characters are strong. I will be reading this one again very slowly.
