Death is able to see what's going on all over the world, past and present. Death is able to see the future, as well. When Death foreshadows the three times he encounters Liesel, I try to figure out where in the book each event will occur. Death foreshadowed Rudy's death, which made me appreciate Rudy's amazing personality and the affect he had on Liesel's life.
I think it adds to the story because it is unique and different from any other book I've read. It doesn't really change my impression of the story, just the way I think about some things.
The role of Death as a narrator puts a dreary damper on the story. The narrator is just one big foreshadower about how people will die later on in the book. It gives the book a dark evil quality.
I didn't really like the use of death as a narrator. He seemed almost a little stupid. Those little side notes he kept on adding in didn't have a pattern and distracted from the plot line.
