A wonderful, thought-provoking book about the German perspective during World War 2. The book is about love, friendships, loyalty, the hardships of war and so much more. But the book is written in such an unconventional way. Death is the narrator and he flash forwards to major moments in the last part of the story, so when characters die you're just not surprised. I guess it worked, but I feel like had I not know it was coming I might have cried. But I didn't. The characters in this book are great—they're well formed and they grow. They're like friends you learn more about the more time you spend with them.
