Having death as the narrator I think is different because its not the person telling you what they went through or what happened to them, and not only is it someone else, but its someone that noone wants to ever meet and who you wouldnt really think about the perspective of the situations. He tells you what he think of "the book thief" and ho he met her and what heppened the day her brother died and kinda makes you sympathize with her without her ever saying anything. And i think that death would know more about people than anyone else would because hes had to be around them since the beginning of time with no vacation. His vacation is watching the colors and seeing how the lives around him unfold.
The feelings that i associate with death are sad, lonely, misunderstood becuase everyone has a portrait painted of him like he just comes when people dies to sort of finsh them off, but thats not the case, its just his job. He has no choice in the matter, and that makes me feel a little sympathetic towards him, in the book he even says he is not violent, or malicious, he is just a result.
