The Book Thief

The Book Thief was a good book. It was not great. The entire book is hurt tremendously by the narrator. He completely, and utterly, ruins the read for me. If you want to avoid spoilers, avoid reading the chapters written solely from the narrator's point of view. The ending would be so so so powerful if it wasn't for the narrator.

Sorry for dragging this out but, seriously, a 5 star book was ruined by this. I only gave it 2 stars because the story itself was amazing.
