The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

The Book Thief is one of my favorite books of all time. It is set in Germany during World War II and follows a young girl called Liesel Meminger. She has been adopted by Hans and Rosa Hubermann
because her mother could no longer afford to keep her and her brother alive.
What makes this book my favorite is how different it is. The narrator of the story is an embodiment of death and I had never seen something like that before I read The Book Thief. Death isn't afraid of spoilers either. He jumps around in the story throughout the book. You could know a character was dead before they did in the story.
The Book Thief is unique and extremely well-written. If you ever get the chance to read it, you should.
