aethenea 's review for:
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close
by Jonathan Safran Foer
I don't have words for this book. One cannot describe it and maybe it's better not to know what it is about. From the blurb we know that Oscar, whose dad died in 9/11, finds a key but he doesn't have a lock that fits the key... But it's much more than that! The book is beautifully written! It touches your heart and there are times you want to cry from sadness but you realize that even those moments are sooo beautiful!
It's not only Oscar's story but the story of his whole family and the parts narrated by his family members were the most hearttouching! And Oscar! I love him - as a nine-year-old kid he can be very funny in his innocence and again - it's just sooo beautiful. The way everyone deals with the death of Oscar's dad - sad, moving, hearbreaking but extremely beautiful and incredibly unfergettable.
P.S. - I cannot believe that this book has an average rating below!! 4 stars!
