What is the resolution of The Book Thief?

The resolution of The Book Thief
occurs at the very end of the novel when the narrator Death has come to important
conclusions about the human race.  Liesel has lost everyone whom she has ever loved, and
the ending scene of the bombing of Himmel Street shows the ultimate devastation of war
and hatred.  Liesel is the only survivor, and although completely distraught, she
manages to continue with her life.  She is eventually reunited with Max, and the reader
assumes that the two have lived the rest of their lives together.  When it is time for
Liesel to die, Death goes to her with a copy of the book and she asks him whether or not
he has read it.  Upon admitting that he has, Death comes to the conclusion that he can
never simply estimate people--Death suggests that he has much underestimated Liesel and
her astonishing will to survive--a major theme in the novel.
