@Alessandra: I couldn't find it at the library so I listen to the audio as I say in my next post and I'd highly recommended it. Audible.com sells audiobooks and is a great resource. @angela michelle: thanks again for the recommendation--I add the link to you whole great review above. @Natasha @ Maw Books: you're right--I hope the "ya" classification doesn't turn people off to it. I loved it!

Great review! I really liked what your cousin had to say. She said it perfectly and beautifully. The only reason that I can think of as it why it’s YA is because of the age of the main character. A dumb reason probably but that’s the only thing that I can think of. I just hope that because of it’s YA categorization that more adults don’t miss out on this great book.

I think the only reason it’s categorized as young adult is that the author’s previous books were young adult. I’m trying to get my oldest son to read it, but I think it’s very adult, because of the language and the themes. I’m so glad you enjoyed it and I definitely think Zusak met his goal of writing a favorite. (And you’re welcome to quote/link to me anytime!)
