A review by agrdck20
Here I Am by Jonathan Safran Foer

4.0

Whilst some of it was heavy going I really enjoyed this book. I certainly think it helps to have come from a similar cultural background as much of the Jewish reference can be esoteric and not well explained. Same with the the Israel subplot that resonated with me but may not with other readers. Whilst the subjects the book covers could be thought of as depressing, the writing is beautiful, and many times throughout the book I would have to re read a sentence or observation because it was so beautifully described.
