The Floating Book/Death's Diary/The Snowman (p. 300-316)

It turns out Rudy did die from hypothermia. This was, at least, my take on what happened in " The Floating Book (Part II)". As previously brought up, Rudy had died in the Amper river, with The Whistler in hand. 
I'm not entirely sure how to react to the beginning of "Death's Diary: 1942." I mean, the scythe and the bony features I knew was not really a thing, but, then, Death points out that to find what he looks like, and it turns out all you needed to do was to look in a mirror. (This confirmed an earlier theory of mine that Death was human, but that's besides the point) In this section, Death further reveals his/her/it's personality, and I realize that Death is stuck with the job, and usually just the clean-up for whatever happens. 
"The Snowman" was were Max fell ill. Very ill. This was all because of a two-foot tall snowman, and a short snowball fight. All of which ended with a very sick Max, and a horrible situation to be in. Let's hope Max survives whatever it is he is up against.

  1. Did Rudy die of hypothermia? Maybe I missed something, but I don't recall him dying.

    I do like how you pointed out how interesting it was when Death claimed he was human. I also hope Max survives, but, as books seem to always go, he will probably die
