Good and sad. I just wanted a little more. I saw so many 5 star ratings so I think I went in with inflated expectations.

I can read it again and again and, even without surprise, be brought to tears. I am convinced that, in his best moments, no one writes better than Safran Foer.

saw it a long time ago but i think i liked the movie better

Absolutely heartbreaking ): but i loved the set up of the book, the pictures, and the shifts of the view points.

Intricately woven storyline that’ll make u cry a bunch. Some of the experimental (quote unquote) letters left me wanting more, but in a way where the author refused to lay things out for us and forced us to think harder about the books relationships.

I have questions still and I feel like this would be suuuuuch a good book for English class or a book club.

Really intimate storytelling I loved and feel like almost anyone would enjoy
