I was at a wedding luncheon one day and one of my friends recommended that I read this book. I'm always a little skeptical about reading World War II books, because after awhile they can become tiresome and the stories are redundant. Not that I am in any way lessening the impact that World War II had on millions of lives, but you can only take so much sometimes. Well this book brought something new to the table. It was told in Death's perspective. And it wasn't about anyone in a concentration camp, it was a story of a German girl and her experiences throughout the war. This book has so much heart, feeling, and love it just inspires your soul. The author himself gives spoilers throughout the novel, so you already knows what happens at the end, but still you can't help but brush your tears away. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone, and it was such a breath of fresh air from the others awful books I've been reading. Go and pick this one up!!About Me
- The MAAY Family
- Mike and I got married on January 3, 2008 in the Salt Lake City Temple. We met December 31, 2003 on New Years Eve, after his best friend invited him to a party. It was nearing midnight, and I had never kissed someone before on New Years Eve. He was sitting there all alone, in his University of Utah sweatshirt, and his Grizzlies backwards baseball cap, and he looked pretty cute. I asked him, "Hey, would you like to kiss at midnight?" He looked confused... Then he finally said, "Sure." I went over to him, and gave him a little peck (which apparently did not reach his lips, more like his chin...) and that was the start of it! We have a beautiful boy, Aiden, who will be two years old in June, and he is the joy of both our lives! We are both working, and we are currently living in Lehi, UT.We are a happy family and love doing things together.
