War, bombs, extermination.
Concentration camps, hiding, death.
All terrible things, aren't they?
I think so too.
But here's what Markus Zusak has done...
He's taken these exact concepts
Of horror,
And combined them with the marvelous concepts
Of home, family,
Friendship, survival.
And the best part?
It's beautiful.
It's so raw, folks...
But it's beautiful.
Its so beautiful, it hurts.
It's so beautiful, it made me bawl like an actual kid.
Its so beautiful, even death turns out to be a nice guy....
It's so unexpected...
But I love it.
