It all started with my love for Hans Hubermann. He was the first character I really liked and his relationship with Liesel was just beautiful and i'd like to thank Zusak for such a great character!

The second thing is Death. He's the narrator of the story and it was really interesting to read about Liesel's life in his point of view - plus: i liked how the author interprets his character!

For me, a big and important part was Max Vandenburg - he's one of my faves of the book and I adore him - I especially loved his scenes with Liesel and

in the end when she sees him walking down the street with all the other jews ... ugh, I needed to wipe off some tears!

I also liked Rudy a lot and I bet it's nice to have someone like him in your life - he loved Liesel with all of his heart and that's just beautiful.

And OH GOD, in the end when SHE kissed him ... that was SO SAD - WHY NOT EARLIER?!?!

Those little "side notes", the drawings and Max' stories for Liesel and also the little explanations were nice and I enjoyed them.

Conclusion: I LOVED this book and I'd give it some more stars if I could. It's not a "light" or even a fast read but it's definitely worth reading!
