FINALLY ("The Book Thief" Part 2)

Okay I know it's been like a month since I started "The Book Thief" but through some unforeseen events (i got a job sigh) my finishing was put off. But I finished today!
WARNING WEE WOO WEE WOO SPOILERS WEE WOO
What stood out to me most about this book, and the writing style really, is how fucking poetic and lyrical the entire thing is. The use of figurative language is really beautiful and inspiring honestly. This is one of those books where I read it and I'm like fuck I'll never be this good IT HURTS HOW GOOD PERSON WROTE.
Liesel kissing Rudy finally after he was dead was fucking heartbreaking and just so tragic. It made me want to rip my heart out and beat it to a pulp. And then her fucking foster parents are dead too and ouch I didn't sign up for this. And the part where she sees Max marching to Dachau OMFG I was so worried Liesel was going to get hurt so I was all NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING STOP but at the same time it's Max and she might not see him again after that and I have a weird attachment to Max so pls GO LOVE HIM LIESEL.
This book is simultaneously heartbreaking and tragic and lovely and beautiful. God bless and good luck if you venture.
Also this was one of my favorite parts sigh MAX
Doubly also, the next book I'm going to read is "Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman are you excited I'm excited

An Update from Liesel's Basement ("The Book Thief" Part 1)

So I'm just a smidge over halfway through the book.
I've basically fallen in love with death like he seriously makes the book. I loved when he said he liked the idea of a grim reaper, that he liked the scythe like his commentary is everything. And when he said that like he doesn't like mysteries because they bore him I was just like woah same.
I'm also really into Liesel and Rudy's friendship like how he's always asking to kiss her and they get into so many shenanigans. I ship it which feels wrong since they're children and freaking death has already told me what happens to Rudy but not HOW WTF DEATH?!?!
Also Max ugh sigh he's just so cute like he fucking just painted Liesel a book about how she's like his friend and how grateful he is for her and is so big brotherly. And he always is like down on himself and feeling guilty and I'm just like pls just let me hug you.
In conclusion: I like. So far.
P.S. sorry for saying fucking. (Just kidding I'm not sorry I like cursing.)
