As surprising as it may sound I don't think death is the worst character in this story. Death was overworked during the war due to a horrible man and his brutal reign.
I also think death has a subtle admiration towards Liesel because of her courage and personality, something you don't typically see in a girl who isn't even a teenager yet.

Papa is definitely my favorite character in the book! I think hes incredibly sweet to Leisel and she really needed someone like that. I also really like Rudy, he would be my runner up. His quick wit cracks me up and I love how ornery he is!

My favorite character is Rudy so far which makes me sad because I believe he will be exiting the book soon due to a few spoilers from the narrator. I love his spunky character and his hard headed ways make me laugh.

I would say my favorite character is Papa. He is the backbone of the family. He is very supportive and caring. Hans Hubermann is a hero in my eyes. He has helped Liesel overcome things. He is an amazing character.

Wise, caring, kind, willing to risk it all for what's right. This is the kind of man that Hans Hubermann is. He is the epitome of a hero during the very trying times of the Nazi invasion.

I feel that Rudy is a really important character in story. Because I think his care free personality is going to inspire or influence Liesel in some way in her lifetime. Since she likes to read perhaps Rudy will be something she writes about in the future.

Max is a very important part of the story because it adds that suspense factor to the story. I really enjoy reading this book because it kind of keeps you on your toes wondering what is going to happen next.

Papa holds the family together. He is a kind heart, sweet soul, and very helpful man. He knows that if someone in the family is having a hard time he makes sure to let them know everything is going to be alright. He keeps everything sane.

Everything she has been through in her life has been either a lesson well taught, or just another thing she can do and gain experience from. She has a very big imagination, and she's determined to do whatever she can to make dreams become reality.

Death has a tone of an ominous yet profound way of telling the story. I enjoy the comments Death adds to various parts of the story.

I have really been enjoying this book, mostly because of the connections that Liesel has with Papa, Max and Rudy. I always find her times with them quite entertaining and enjoyable to follow along and see their connections deepen.

Liesel does what she wants, right or wrong. She follows her heart and does what she enjoys no matter the cost. She is a dreamer, has a lot of strength and determination.

No matter how much she goes through she is always willing to do what it takes to do what she desires, even if it means getting a whooping from her mother.
