This book got boring quick—I almost gave up a few times.
The plot is lackluster to me and I found the “murder” stuff to be melodramatic. I also genuinely don’t understand why they built a random ass bridge. If it was destroyed so many years ago, why is the dad coming out of the woodwork to ask his kids he abandoned to help him build a bridge?
I found Penelope’s life to be the most interesting. If the book was from her perspective, I probs would have liked it more

The boomerang storytelling got a little infuriating at times but overall it slaps

As much as I love Zusak, this book just wouldn't end. The main plot was confusing and the B plot was out of order and dragged on about details that didn't matter. Maybe it's a good read to someone else, but it wore me down to finish.
