I am interested in WWII history and fiction, so I found this to be a very interesting and engaging book. It was narrarated by Death which hooked me from the beginning. Of course, it is a very sad book. The main character in the book, Leisel, went through difficult trials. My father was born in Switzerland just before the end of WWII. Although Switzerland was neutral during WWII, my grandpa served as an anti-air gunner up in the Alps, watching the border between Switzerland and Germany, just in case Germany decided to invade. So sad to think of all the trials inflicted on Jews, Germans, the British, Japanese, Americans, etc. because of terrible, evil leaders and people who were willing to be lulled into following their words. Books like this help me to appreciate the country and community I live in.
