Why are the best books always so sad? Why are the things that touch your heart so tenderly also so heartbreaking? I have never cried so hard in a book nor felt so much for characters. I do not think I can say what Marcus Zusak made me feel what he did with his words. They are beauty and they are truth. Though this book has broken my heart in ways I haven't felt before I have never been so pleased to be sad. I feel it cheapens my review to say this but it is a must read, I don't care who you are read it, even if you think you hate it, read it.
