I think I would've liked this book a lot more had I read it in a different point of my life. I just feel like the setting of WWII is overused and now I'm determined to skip books like this for some time.
This book does, however, bring something different to the table. The fact that it's narrated by death itself is interesting and darker than most books of this kind.
I had a good time exploring the friendship Liesel had with Rudy and with her foster parents Rosa and Hans. I think the key of the book is there, to see how people can still be kind and nurturing to their loved ones even in tough times.
