The endin was fantastic. And so was the beginning by the way. It's just everything else was so bland to me. I loved the magical realism parts but it just wasn't kept up with enough or made enough of a theme for me. I guess I rated the book so low just because I saw the potential with it, but the ideas just weren't conveyed in a way I really enjoyed. I also thought the switching protagonists so much was too much

Uma história linda, Liesel é uma menina doce e ao mesmo tempo uma guerreira. Apaixonante!

A proposta de enredo é muito melhor do que a execução. Livro tediante, talvez se eu conseguir terminar de lê-lo um dia, sem que me dê sono, eu possa mudar de nota.
