New favourite book. The way it's written is so satisfying and I loved the way each chapter ended. I learned a ton about World War II from this book alone. I think people who are not native English speakers may find it a little difficult to read because of the vocabulary and metaphors, however in my opinion the latter made the story so much more interesting. The story being narrated by death is something I didn't expect and I loved it. Rudy Steiner is now one of my favourite characters of all time. Go read this book!
