However, I have really high expectations for this book, especially after reading The Book Thief. Even though it's been a few years, that book is still with me, and I just want to love everything by Zusak as much. <br /><br />I think I'll check this one out, though. I like books with positive messages, so it might be one that's for me.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131832400840619615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-72805675191166564962016-03-05T06:03:47.208-07:002016-03-05T06:03:47.208-07:00I actually really liked this!
