Eigentlich hat das Buch mir wirklich gut gefallen, das Ende fand ich allerdings echt blöd, deshalb insgesamt dann doch "nur" 3 Sterne. ( ) I would've thought this book was amazing if I'd read it at 15. But I'm 25 now, so I thought it was good. Especially (obviously) good for teens. The book's about a message and it gets it across well and the narrator is a really relatable guy, so there's good reason to recommend it. I didn't always love the style Zusak used, though. For one thing, the book's not tightly written. If I were editing it I'd hack out most of the passages where the narrator just goes on and on about his emotional state, overusing so-so metaphors and cheesey poetic conceits. I got a little impatient getting through that stuff. Still, a pretty cool, meaningful book. Not as good as [book: The Book Thief], but what is? Amazing and extensive use of literary devices. Personification, metaphor and simile, yes, but richer than those, too. The author has an excellent eye for turning intangible actions and feelings into tangible actions and feelings using the aforementioned devices in ways most authors fail to do. I think this expressive writing is what hooked me the most in this book. Good literal literary twist at the end, too! Such an interesting and strange premise, a bit like a puppeteer pulling the strings of someone's life without them understanding what and why. This felt similar to The Midnight Library in that it is meant to feel very profound at the end, and I don't generally enjoy that. That wasn't until the very end tho, so mostly this was mysterious and intriguing. HæderspriserDistinctionsNotable Lists
