tdeshler 's review for:

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
4.0

I usually like to read a book before I see the movie, but didn't happen this time because I didn't know about this book. Of course when you do it that way, it is impossible to avoid picturing the characters other than the way they were portrayed in the movie, but that is ok I guess because the movie was pretty good.

Reading about the quirkiness of the boy was definitely entertaining, especially when juxtaposed against the grandfather's even more bizarre behavior. I like how the ending in the book was focused on the midnight run, rather than the key hunt.
