Cars drive by. In one of them is Rudy and the rest of the Steiners. They’re together in the afterlife. She is also with Max, Hans, and Rosa. It is a bittersweet ending. And she seemed willing to go with Death. We can infer that she knew where she was going and who she would be with. It is sad Rudy died so young (I cried too!!! Right in the middle of class!!), but he had to die at some point. Plus, we know Death really cared about Rudy. So yeah =) It can be a happy ending!

I read a few glowing reviews but have put it down twice as I found the narrative voice twee and annoying. I also thought there was a lot of over-describing things to little purpose. Hearing that it gets into its stride after thirty pages or so is encouraging. I have been trying to finish everything I started and this (recently) has been the only one I couldn’t face continuing with.

I love the whole thing about Death. I also felt that the book wasn’t that great at the start but then once I got use to it, I couldn’t let go of it. I completed the book in 1 and 1/2 day. :) I never read a book so fast normally I took a 4-5 days or 1 week max to finish a book… I really thank Mr. Zusak for writing such a wonderful work… I cried the life out of me, when the end of the book was approaching.

Stefanie you have done an amazing review. You know I wonder sometimes, If Max and Leisel wear together later. I know its just random but the way, Max hugs leisel at the end of the book is suspicious… What do you think?
