"The Book Thief" - Markus Zusak

What a masterpiece!!  I just couldn't put this book down.  It was beautifully written and left me wanting to read "just a little bit more" each time I had to quit reading.  

Set in Germany during WWII, the reader feels the effects of Hitler's regime through the eyes of a small girl.  She is forced to live with foster parents and lives the war face to face.  Told from the voice of death itself, the story is a masterful work.  A must read!!
