Ein Ereignis, welches die ganze Welt erschüttert hat, aus den Augen eines kleinen Jungen, der Teil davon wurde. Die Art und Weise wie man von all den großen, schweren Themen erfährt, die diese Geschichte behandelt - Tod, Trauer, Scham, Angst, Einsamkeit - hat mich auf allen Ebenen mitgenommen.
Die vielfältigen Charaktere denen man begegnet, durch die Perspektive Oskar's, welcher schon für sich genommen eine tolle Figur ist, das macht richtig Spaß.
Ausschließlich einige Parts der Geschichte der Großeltern fand ich schwer nachzuvollziehen oder fragte mich, was sie in diesem Buch zu suchen hatten.

Pubblicato nel 2005, è stato uno dei primi romanzi ad affrontare il tema degli attacchi terroristici dell'11 settembre.  Il narratore del libro è un bambino di nove anni di nome Oskar Schell, in quale, scopre una chiave in un vaso che apparteneva a suo padre, un anno dopo essere stato ucciso negli attacchi dell’11 settembre. La scoperta ispira Oskar a cercare in tutto New York informazioni sulla chiave. 
Un libro toccante che tratta una tematica forte ma vista con gli occhi ingenui e inconsapevoli di un bambino curioso.
Nel 2011 è stato tratto un film dal titolo omonimo diretto da Stephen Daldry, che vede come attori protagonisti Sandra Bullock e Tom Hanks.

This book is my "An Imperial Affliction". I do not want to talk about it. I do not want to share it. I do not want to criticize it. I just want to admire it, to cry with it, to live in it. To read it.

While at passion fin for mom’s bday lunch someone overheard me mentioning this book and said the writer was their favorite! I found it an easy ready and a good twist that pulls the characters together. Just sometimes the writing style wasn’t my favorite and felt redundant.
