Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
4.0
This book was so full of different emotions it was hard for me to keep track at times what I was supposed to be feeling.
Sometimes it made me feel confused and sometimes it took me a few sentences to realise who the letter I was reading was from. Sometimes it made me laugh when I read some of the crazy thoughts that came in to Oskar's mind and his interesting view of the world and how thing (should) work. Sometimes it made me really sad to read some of the parts about 9/11, and then in the next sentence it would be back to quirky when telling me about some of the characters that Oskar was meeting in New York on his mission to find the lock that fit the key.
It isn't going to be a book that appeals to everyone as the writing style, although very clever, witty and engaging, could sometimes get a little confusing when trying to follow the thought process of Oskar and the Grandma, but once you get used to it you are taken on an almost magical (but realistic) journey that you can't help but want to tag along on. I can't wait to see the movie.
