The Book Thief

I just finished "The Book Thief" by Marcus Zusak.  It took a couple of chapters before I decided to continue to read this one.   After a while you get used to the style, and it is worth it to continue on.  Based in World War II in Germany, it gives you a view of what it was like to live in a small town during the war.    You may need a kleenex box to get through this one.    A story of struggle, determination and love.   A mix of characters that grow on you and a very interesting narrator.  

And now, on to the next book ... "The Scorpio Races" by Maggie Stiefvater.   I have read her other trilogy starting with Shiver.   Fantastic!   I have high hopes for this one.
