As Death, the narrator, is haunted by humans, I am haunted by this book. I don't think I have ever read a book that has touched me as deeply as this book. The poetry of the language is a marvel, the story itself is mesmerizing and the characters are beautifully conceived. This is a difficult book to read at times; the depiction of Nazi Germany and all that entails, but it is also uplifting and joyous. Don't let the fact that this is marketed as a young adult book deter you from reading. It is a great read for adults.
