It is a World War II-era story narrated by Death.

I love writing, reading, buying, everything about books.<BR/><BR/><I>Inkheart</I> was actually not a fave of mine as I knew what was about to happen long before it did and I knew who was who long before the big reveal as well. Probably not going for the new one, though I like her writing overall.<BR/><BR/>Recommendations are hard. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card - great book for the MG boys. Been out for a very long time. The series wanders from adult to kids with most of them falling on the adult side. He waxes extremely philosophical at some points. And he just came out with the immediate sequel (timeline-wise) to Ender's Game. It's on my Xmas list, so I can't rush out and buy it like I want to.Sarah Laurensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252565450452195395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011133488035315179.post-70947805305789940322008-11-13T14:31:00.000-08:002008-11-13T14:31:00.000-08:00Oh, Kelly -- I'm so glad I'm not the only one!Than...Oh, Kelly -- I'm so glad I'm not the only one!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the book recommendation, Suzanne.
