− | I | + | It occurs to me that despite calling this my favorite book, I've never written a review. I think it's one of those books that I just struggle to talk about without it becoming a gushfest. It is, in my opinion, a perfect book. The characters are all so vivid that by the end of the story I feel like they are real people. I loved Death as the narrator, because who better to tell a story about World War 2 than Death? |
