Gannon, I could not agree more. Not only is this one of my favorite books of all time, it is likely one one the best epistolic novels that I've EVER read - hands down. I cried, I laughed, and I was, at times, amazed that I was actually reading a book -- it felt like I was actually living in this other world that Zusak had created entirely from whole cloth, and yet was also firmly routed in our own dark reality. As a writer, I was simply stunned by some of the phrasing that was lovingly crafted and tucked neatly away amid the unassuming passages of this book. There are precious few times in life when one can point to a moment when they come to realize an entirely new topic or can feel a new wrinkle formed on one's brain...this novel created those moments in absurdly amazing frequency.Gannon wrote:Its in my top ten favourite books of all time.
I highly recommend this book to anyone.

Maybe you are off writing a great novel.
I didn't cry, because I sort of felt I had to be brave, if you can understand that.
The movie was also amazing and usually if I have read the book I am not impressed by the movie.

I was thinking more about this book and i was thinking that it seemed strange how there were a lot of just normal things going on even though the people were in the midst of a war. To me I would compare it to the way it can be a nice sunny day on the day you have to go to a funeral because someone you know has died. It doesn't seem like it should just be a normal day with other people going on about their business. Somehow it seems like the world should stop for just a little while and empathize with the grieving person. In the same way it seems like nothing can be normal when there is a war going on. I think it was interesting how the author described every day life for these people.
