I just have to say, I love Markus Zusak. I love his writing style, and his books are always a favorite. I loved the message behind this book (pun intended) and the characters are just beautiful. The ending left me speechless, wrapping the story up very nicely. I love the jokes at the end, and it is a fun, fast, interesting read. We;; done, Zusak! I am now officially in love with your works, and you have become a favorite author now.
