A review by boygirlparty
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer

5.0

i read this back in 2007, before e-readers were all the rage. i have this recommendation for those reading it today: don't read it on an e-reader. read it in print. it makes a big difference.

it's 2am and i just turned the last page. this has immediately become one of my all-time favorite reads. i suggest not spoiling your experience with reading any of the plot details beforehand, not even the back cover, so you can be surprised, delighted and heartbroken on every page the way i was.
i hate that i've finished this book. i have heavy boots over its finality, actually.
