10/10 loved it, a haunting read that gripped me from cover to cover. I want to be buried with this novel, I love it more than my three daughters. The romance was toe curling and panty wetting. I left my husband and hit the club because I didn't know that a man could make me feel this way, but Haunting Adeline opened my eyes, and my legs.

If you're like me, by the last hundred pages of the book, you'll be sobbing so uncontrollably that you think you might pass out. This is a beautiful, touching, heartbreaking, woeful story. I loved it so much. After finishing reading it, I sat and stared out of the window for God knows how long, thinking about it. It was the most I'd cried in about a year, and this is coming from a person who gave the people in the movie Titanic diving scores as they jumped off the boat. Markus Zusak is such an incredible writer. The way he writes is so poetic, it could be a song: the line "I have loved words, and I have hated them" was the one that got me the most. Because, truth be told, I think that Liesel reminds me of myself - a fourteen-year-old girl who adores and cherishes words. And Rudy reminds me of my best friend, who also has lemon-yellow hair. I rate this book five out of five - if I could give it a six, or seven, or all the way to infinity, I indeed would.
