The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

Honestly, I do not understand how this book did not make me cry. I guess I wasn't tired enough.
This book was... well, not indescribable. It was very good in my opinion but it's definitely not a book that everyone is going to like. I strangely appreciated the fact that the author did tell you that certain people were going to die because I do have a slight tendency to get frustrated and look at the ending of books this long.
I think this book did a good job explaining the horrors of WWII even though it didn't go too far into the concentration camps. I say think because I wasn't there and I can't know.The book also deals with other issues of growing up but I'm tired of talking about that and it's not important anyway.
I really don't know what else to say about this book; I like it, read it and decide for yourself.
Potential Bad Things: (I have been uneasy about the title 'Bad Things' because usually I just write what people might not like so from now on I'll have clarifying words that will take away any real meaning from what I am saying.) There is a lot of swearing. Most of it, however, is German and didn't really bother me. The book is narrated by Death which is why my mom didn't read it but I think the author did a good job of taking away any possible creepiness or controversial. Well, I suppose for someone else it might be... I don't know. Also, lots of characters die. It's a war. Also, the book is narrated by Death and he only sees what happens when people die so... Yeah, people die.
Rating: For me, Holy Cow. For others, maybe, Burn It which is ironic (or something people think is ironic) because one of the books she steals she snatches from a bonfire.
Read again: some day.
You read: if swearing, Death, and lots of death don't bother you, then yes.
