I could really see that happening. Ask the author on twitter. He may just respond :) <br /><br />And GREAT quote choices! I definitely cried again just now when I read the one about Liesel kissing Rudy after he died. Heartbreaking! Why couldn't she have done it sooner?

When I heard that Liesel went on from such a tragic experience and married/had a family, it reminded me of that book.<br /><br />I have enjoyed getting to know you better as well, Kami!

I wonder about this though because she does get married and have a family, and I suppose if Rudy can't have her, Max would have been next in line. <br /><br />Great answers!

I guess I'm ok with his reasons for them not ending up together. But I still wondered. :)<br />And Rudy! It's so sad that she didn't kiss him. I was crying ugly tears when everybody died, but at least Max didn't. That was like a little bit of happiness at the end.<br />Thanks so much for doing the readalong with kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11221304377970098013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426678901889895188.post-8892315377421500062013-09-30T12:44:41.352-07:002013-09-30T12:44:41.352-07:00So... the author has been asked a gazillion times ...So... the author has been asked a gazillion times if Max and Liesel get married and he mostly answers by saying... it's up to us the readers, but for him... his feelings are that no they did not. Here's a video link to when he came to our library and answered this (and a couple other questions) that you may be interested in: http://youtu.be/tcjOXmytxy8 Anyway, so glad you enjoyed this Sueyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926501219758538615noreply@blogger.com
