mary00 's review for:

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
4.0

This book hooked me from the first page. I thought that parts of it were absolutely brilliant, while other parts fell just a bit flat for me. Specifically, I loved Oskar's sections, while I was hot and cold with his grandmother's and grandfather's. Oskar felt so authentic; so heartbreakingly real. Overall, this is a great work of fiction, well-deserving of all of the praise.
