The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is incredible.
Its simplicity, warmth and inevitable tragedy rendered me into a waterfall of tears. The fact that Death is the narrator and you know the end right from the start does not diminish the heartache that grips you when it finally happens. Seldomly have I found a book dealing with Nazi Germany in such a skillful, unapologetic but simple and affective way. It steers clear of melodrama and lectures. It's a wonderful book. Read it.
