This is a captivating book. Oskar is lovable and laughable, but intellectually innocent - not a speaker who typically gets a voice. The story is brilliant, each character endearing. This book intrigued me and took me on a roller coaster of experiences unlike any other.

The story of the man and woman who make up a system of places where you don't exist is so moving. It's absurd, surreal and at the same time so relatable. I loved every part of this book.

My first year of college, I was a theatre major. Theatre, spelled with the "r" before the "e" - because that is the true, artistic way to spell it. Anyone with any sense of art would know that!
This book felt like that first semester of college. All performance art and looking for hidden meanings. The story was simple and sad, but unfortunately it was overshadowed by all the strange, esoteric bull that the author felt the need to include.
Not my cup of tea; would not read again.

This book is about a boy trying to find a secret that he believes to be left by his father I thought the book was good but the ending was not exciting like you would think it would be

Different, but it made me cry on the metro and that counts for something.
