This book was superbly written. I wouldn't say that there was anything "new" in it, in terms of plot. I think the WWII topic has been pretty much exhausted in terms of story plots. So, I didn't really feel like I was reading anything new.

However, what made it superb, and kept my interest was the writing, as well as the narrator. I don't think I've ever seen a WWII book where the narrator is death. And the way in which the story unfolds, the way it's written, the way it's told ... well, like I said, absolutely superb.
