“This book is one of my favorite books! It is so different than what I have ever read. Zusak is so detailed in his writing. He writes with picturesque, illustrative, beautiful words. And that is not even coming close to the greatness of the book.

You fall in love with each of the characters. They are so thoroughly and carefully written about. There is great friendships, troubles, sadness, all written so eloquently. I just can't say enough good things about this book. It was hard to put down and I cannot stop thinking of the characters.

Really, truly about great friendships I think

Wow! What a LONG book! I feel like she could have told the same story with maybe 300 less pages. (mine was the 909 page book). I really liked the plot of the book. What will happen to the characters, etc, but there was just too much ETC stuff for me jammed in and it was just boring. The last 9 chapters I loved because it finally felt like it was free, smooth, get to the point flowing.
I wish the author was more precise about the time that she was telling the story. Maybe remind us what year they were in. I needed to know how old everyone was!
I would not recommend this book, unless I knew they absolutely loved history.

First, I can't believe this book has gotten so many good reviews?!!! It was boring. It was uninteresting. I would have stopped reading somewhere in the beginning if it wasn't for part of a book club I am in. The ending ruined the whole thing for me. It just seemed to have NO emotion at all in it. When things happened, without giving anything away, people should have been devastated, hurt, crying, mad, vengeful. There was none of that. It was emotionless. It left me feeling empty and not finished. The ending was so abrupt. I would say it left me wanting more, but the only "more" I want now, is a totally different book!!

I loved the underlining meaning of this book: We need to be living better stories. Don has done many things with his life that you couldn't compare the two of ours! It makes you want to do more. It makes you know you can't have a great story by "sitting on a couch". I loved the tid bits I got out of it. If I just had read those things with his life story, it would have been a great book. But with him telling us how they made his life a story a movie, it made it slow for me. I was talking with a friend and I believe if I had had the audio book it would have been so much better to hear his sarcasm, his humor and to HEAR his story. Overall a good book to light a match under your butt and do something with your life!

I just didn't like it. No real good reason why. It was about pursuing your "Personal Legend". It just had no meat for me. Didn't fall in love with any of the characters. Just wasn't good for me.

This was a well written, emotional story. I had to keep reading to find out what happened. I would def recommend this book

This book is clearly written for teens, but it was an easy simple read. It may make a "choppy" jump in the end, but I'll read the other 2 to see what happens. Wasn't great, wasn't bad...just a good easy read.

It was a quick read, although there was too many car racing details in it for me that I seemed to skim past all that stuff. It was interesting told from the dog's perspective. If you love dogs and love racing, this book is for you! It was just 'OK' for me.

This was different than anything else I've read before. It kept my attention, it was a quick read, and I fell in love with the characters. There was great suspense as well as a great love story. There was a lot to talk about! Although there are a LOT of unanswered questions, I can't wait to read books 2 and 3.!

When you thought you knew what was happening, the author made more twists and turns that would keep you guessing and wanting you to read more. There are so many colorful characters and so much drama, love, suspense, hatred, action, and mystery!
I think, at times, it seemed a bit long. And in the beginning I had a bit of trouble getting in to it. But when I did, I couldn't put it down!
