I bought this book because of rave reviews and because "The Book Thief" was absolutely great. But after 70 pages when I couldn't figure out what the story line was about, I quit. It is one of the most confusing novels I have ever attempted to read.

I couldn't wait to read Bridge of Clay after reading The Book Thief. As I turned the page in Bridge of Clay I thought hummm I must have missed something. The storytellers random thoughts or just added phrases or words seemed misplaced but I kept on reading. The book demands attention! It's a family saga full of love, anger, heartbreak, failure and accomplishment. Clay is the bridge. I loved it and finished with tears in my eyes.

Zusak’s style of writing is full of twists and sage yoda-like wisdom this go-around. An epic family tale spanning decades - tragedy, redemption, loss, and love: Zusak has delivered once again.

I didn't think I could possibly enjoy this story as much as the Book Thief, but it is just the best book I have read in quite a while. Zusak is a story telling master!

Bought for someone else , they love it
