Extremely Loud and Incredibly...Amazing?

Music: Elliott Smith


Title: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
Author: Jonathan Safran Foer
# of Pages: 368
Grade: A+

Summary:
Nine-year-old Oskar Schell has embarked on an urgent, secret mission that will take him through the five boroughs of New York. His goal is to find the lock that matches a mysterious key that belonged to his father, who died in the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11. This seemingly impossible task will bring Oskar into contact with survivors of all sorts on an exhilarating, affecting, often hilarious, and ultimately healing journey.

My Thoughts
Well the grade pretty much sums it up, this book was amazing...on too many levels to name, I really dont even feel entitled to say anything about the book. If anyone wants to discuss, I'm here but just to let everyone know your life is incomplete without this book and I love Oskar Schell to the death, if all kids were like Oskar, children would be my life...period.

I honestly am speechless.

Oh and Jonathan Safran Foer is my hero.
