Now I've bought the book. It is an amazing novel and the language resounds. I needed to own it so that I can go back and read (I can't really re-read them) some of the passages. I'm sure I will read the whole book, but not just now, but I really recommend listening to the audio version. The language is meant to be heard, I think, and it is very well narrated. I just finished reading Douglas Adams' The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul, which I found on a friend's bookshelf and borrowed. It is a delight in a British, Douglas Adams, Monty Pythonesque way. Adams is a wonderful observer and gently funny reporter of the human condition. His situations aren't real, but his characters' responses to them are. I finally finished listening to The Book Thief.
