A long times ago I read Of Mice and Men, and I didn't really like it because not too much happened during the whole book, and then at the very end all of the sudden there was a flash of action. This book almost felt like that, but it was better. Not too much happens throughout this book, it's kind of just showing you the day to day life of this girl, and her life just happens to be taking place on a backdrop of major world events. But things do happen, and it also creates a sort of emotional connection between the reader and the characters, and then of course at the end a bomb falls on the city and everyone is killed. You do get a warning in the middle of the book that Rudy dies, but it still leaves you heartbroken at the end, with the all of the intense detail about the complete and utter destruction. It leaves you feeling so terrible for Liesel, she's lost everyone important to her in her life. It's like once she's finally able to build up her life make friends, become a family with her foster parents, all of that is gone in one second, and it leaves her with one one left to turn to.
