Extremly Loud and Incredibly Close
« on: November 21, 2012, 03:12:14 PM »
Hi all

has anyone read the book from the heading it is from Jonathan Safran Foer. This was the second English book i read not the second at all :D

the story is a all in all a sad one but there are often scenes to smile and laugh. The author play with the perspective of the narrator it changes from the kid to the grandma, grandpa and sometimes you just read a letter. it really fascinating.

The mean person is the nine years old Oskar who lost his dad at 9/11 and tries to be near him also in dead. One day he found a key and started to search the lock for the key. so a little adventure starts and it ends probably not in the way you would think on the beginning but i don't want to tell to much.

This shall not be advertisement just a little picture of the book i read last month and i liked it to read and it was always hard to put the book bag into my bag when the tram reached my station ;D A really amazing book
The full life is a big mess

PS:
I'm German. Sorry because of possible mistakes in my written messages xD

Being second is to be the first of the ones who lose.
