I understand when people don't particularly like the book. But I think it's because they don't expect this from a book like this one. It's poetry in prose. It's angles no one wants to look at. It's truth, even when it hurts. And then again, you are never quite sure if it is truth after all, because it's not a human telling the story.

I love how Liesel's and Hans' relationship works.

I love this book. It gives me hope and tears it down and builds it back up. I wish it wouldn't wreck me so beautifully, so I could just keep reading instead of needing breaks so often.
