PHENOMENAL.
I feel this masterpiece is meant for slow reading, analyzing and rereading. The twisted plot, flawed and real characters, and 'death' as the narrator; make this book praiseworthy and hype-worthy.
Also, Zusak's figurative language is the cherry on top. I don't know how he did that with the words, but he literally weaved magic! A work of brilliance is an understatement.
P.S. Rudy has my whole damn heart! ๐คง๐
