The Book Thief- Question Prompt 1
This was an overall enjoyable book, there was only one part that was really weird. There's this boy named Rudy and he and Liesel are best friends and all he wants from her is a kiss, he's always doing things for her in hopes she'll kiss him. But she never does. Then at the very end of the book her town gets bombed and everyone dies but her (because she was sitting in the basement). So she's running around looking for her dead friends and family and she finds Rudy and she kisses him for a really long time, and then weirdest of all she goes and tells his father (who survived because he was away at war). But other then that weird little bit it was really good, it's written with tons and tons of description. Death sees moments in colors, "The last time I saw her was red. The sky was like soup, boiling and stirring. In some places, it was burned. There were black crumbs, and pepper, streaked across the redness." Overall I definitely recommend it, it's very interesting (and slightly confusing) and it's written in a beautiful and very interesting style.

Sounds like a book I read that takes place in Boston before the American Revolution. There is this girl and she befriends a British soldier and he wants her to like run off with him or something and she won't do it. And then he takes part in the Boston Massacre and actually kills someone. And then she feels really bad, well you get the picture. My book doesn't sound as confusing though. I mean, in your book, is the part with Rudy just thrown in randomly? Why is it confusing?
