"I just started reading Markus Zusak a year ago (The Book Thief was my first) and I was immediately fascinated by his writing. It's poetic and simplistic but poignant and emotionally deep. In every chapter of this novel, Zusak's witty prose and fluid narrative naturally describes every emotion, complex thought, and action Ed takes; he especially follows the cardinal rule of good writing: showing not telling. This book is gritty, raw, and full of powerful metaphors on the simplicity and beauty of life." //-- by vegalien from Chicago//
