Devastatingly beautiful and creative and innovative. The author includes photos in a beautiful way and the story is absolutely heartbreaking in the best way.

This book is ok..I feel like it's kind of all over the place. The point of view changes so often it can get confusing. It's a good story, but a little hard to follow. I liked it, but probably wouldn't read it again.

I had a very hard time connecting with the story. I found the writing style to be pretentious, lackluster and gimmicky. Did not finish at 50%

What a great book, not only wonderfully written but also visually engaging. Oskar was such an innocent narrator, and the perspectives of his grandparents were equally intriguing. I will be recommending this to as many people as I can.
