This book is destruction.
It creates such a vivid portrayal of the Second World War - all told from the perspective of personified death, which is such an interesting idea.
We follow Liesel - a young girl sent away to live with foster parents due to her birth parents being communists.
During the 3/4 years we spend with Liesel, we meet all the neighbours on her street including her best friend Rudy, her bossy, bad mouthed foster mother and her caring and selfless foster papa.
At one point her foster parents hide a young Jew called Max, and we share in their fear and anxiety.
The actual title is not really the main focus in the story itself, but just something that adds a little extra I found, but nonetheless interesting.
Where there are so many books written about Nazi Germany this one truly sticks in my mind as heartbreaking - you truly grow to love each of the characters in a powerful way.
