The Book Thief

Just finished reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. It's an interesting little story, takes place in Nazi Germany, and the narrator is Death. I liked it though I picked a poor time to read it. I'd just read If Not Now, When? by Primo Levi, and it puts any wartime book to shame. I could see The Book Thief becoming a required reading for high school students. It's not terribly long and it gives the reader a good idea of what it was like for non-Jewish civilians during the second World War.
