EVER.
I loved it so much I thought I would share it publicly. It made me cry. Like a lot.
Picture this:
The LG is playing his beloved, and very much despised by me, XBOX 360. I am curled up next to him, holding the book in my hands, tears pouring down my face, Niagara Falls style. The LG keeps peering at me over my book to make sure I'm okay, making sensitive comments like, "Awwww..." and "Are you okay, baby???" Which, after 2 hours of hysteria, became "Will you stop it already?"
Bwaaaahhhahahahhahahahahaha!
It's true. The last two hours that I was reading the book were the hardest to get through, because I already knew the outcome. And it killed me.
Maybe you've read this book already. Maybe it didn't affect you like it did me. Or maybe you did read it. And maybe you fell in love with the grave topic, yet smart humor. Or the vivid, fluid and clever writing style of a most talented author. Maybe you loved it. Like me.
Anywhoo...here she is...
The Title:
The Book Thief
The Author:
Mark Zusak

Nazi Germany
And all of this, thanks to my Secret Pal at work. This book is probably my favorite gift of all.
So, to all of my readers...go read this book. You'll love it. And if you don't...you suck. And that's that.

Hi Julia, it's Jo. Your review had such a big impact on me that I decided to order the book via Amazon. Now I'm waiting for it to come and I cannot wait to have it in my hands and read it! Thanks! : )
