How? What? Where? Where did all that come from? How did he do it? OMG

Okay Okay take a deep breath…. and let's try and explain this.

Liesel is sent to live with a German family who will get paid for having her and her brother in their house, Liesel is going to make her first book thievery activity when her brother died before they reach 33, Himmel street. Liesel is one girl who is passionate about words and books. but she seems not to know much about reading herself. when she get used to having Hans Habermann as a great father, when she even start to get used on her mother's filthy mouth; a turning point of event happens when a Jewish fist fighter enters the house in the middle of the night one day.

THIS BOOK IS VERY COMPLICATED , I like stories about poor families for a lot of reasons. it makes me thankful for what I have, and the children of the poor always have a way of making life very interesting, filled with adventures and values that are mixed with pain and suffering but there is always HOPE in every smile, every laugh, every sun rise.

I liked the robberies and thievery acts in this book I always looked forwards to them. I just kept asking for more.

Markus Zusak was able to suck me into the world of "war world II, in Himmel Street, Molching, Munich. Germany".

The book is very slow but rich in the same time. there is all type of memories and histories and relationships and that makes you understand the harmony the lives of the citizens in Himmel Street, of how each person lives and what shaped them and made them the way they are. This book is filled with emotions and anger and feelings, Oh My God the feelings. but yet it doesn't make you cry that much, I cried maybe twice reading this, but most of the time I'm just sad, and my heart is tired.

by the end of this book my heart was aching and I was finding it very hard to breath.

and the fact that this book is narrated by death; it sort of made me back off for a little bit, because I don't know how would I like that?. because as a religious person (well I try as hard as I can) I wasn't so sure that I would like what I'm about to read, but the truth is, I only had a FEW problems with it, just a few, if I removed three or four pages from the book, I wouldn't have the slightest problem with it.

Except the ending. I hate, dislike, not even a little… the ending.

I'm just sitting on couch knowing what’s going to happen (because the death spoils everything even month and years before it happens) I read the ending, and I'm like WHAT? WHY ? HOW? you had the most wonderful thing ever. you planted the most Beautiful flower in my heart, I had hope, and then you came into my living room Mr.Zusak and you snatched that flower right when It starts to bloom. WHY?????

But despite the horrible ending, I am glad, no I am honored to have read this book. it's worth my money worth my time, every time I turn a page something incredible, something unexpected happens.

I think this book will open the door for the historical fiction, that is specifically about WWII; wide for me and I would just walk right through and start reading; cause these subject, these values that we learn from these books are what we are in most need of in the mean time. and every time
