I read this book twice at the end of the last school-year. The author is Markus Zusak, and I really enjoyed his style; I haven't had a book make such an impact on me in a really long time.

I was just curious to see if anyone else had read it, or to hear about books that had a major impact on you guys.

I'm actually interested in learnign about the holocaust so I read that book, and I loved it. It's one of the few books that kept me interested till the end.

Most of the books I've read on the Holocaust were either extremely dry, and emotionally detatched, or so depressing (as they should be) that I didn't want to, but couldn't stop reading. This was the first that I actually enjoyed.

I read that book a few months ago and I loved it.
And it made me cry just a little.
