The best part about this book is that it is narrated by death. It takes away all the preconceived notions that we have about death (black hooded cape, long ghostly face, etc...) and turns him into what I felt was just a regular guy doing his job. He's telling the story of Liesel Meminger a.k.a. "the book thief". Her story takes place during World War II...and I don't know if I've mentioned it before but I'm kind of a history nerd. But the book focuses less on the historical aspect and more on the adventures of a 13-yr-old girl living in Nazi Germany...oh and there's a jew living in her basement. I won't spoil anymore for you, but it's definitely worth picking up.
