I have been enjoying this book tremendously. There's so much you learn from reading (or listening to) a book the second time through. His writing style is fantastic. Sometimes, I feel as if I am watching Liesel and Rudy. As if I'm really there. It's great. I think the narrator is very good, but I have never forgotten who he (or she) was. Of course, there are reminders, like: "My workload increased significantly from that day forward for the next six years."
The book carries a certain feeling around with it. One of sorrow, loss, hope, joy. And then the cycle begins again. Nazism is ever present when you read it, and the book seems to be leading up to a climax. I know what that is, of course. But as we all know with a good book, the protagonist cannot be happy forever. Who will the narrator meet first in the Hubermann household?
