Reader reviewed by Robert

This book was one of the best and most intresting books i have ever read. i think what captures the reader the most is how ordinary Ed is - how easy it is to associate with the character(s). The acts that Ed does makes him a hero, in a real sense of the word.
The only thing that was slightly dissapointing was the ending. Without giving away too much of the book... I just expected a little something more.

But i guess that's how Mark Zusak does it...unexpectidly. Especially the last line which really wraps it up nicely.

The book in general makes you feel good, something about doing good deeds (even if they mean 'bad' deeds), and helping others. The characters are also vast, in-depth and very real. You can see the beautifull audrey or the lazy ritchie.

For anyone reading this post, i urge you to buy this fun, compulsive, light-hearted (but serious at times) book.
