Moms View Message Board: Books, Movies and TV Shows: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
I love love love this book! It was so touching, quirky, funny, I would say it was exceptional. Author is Jonathon Safran Foer, who also wrote Everything is Illuminated, I'm not done with this one yet, but it is also very good, and apparently is a movie!
What kind of story? Quick description?
Oh yeah Oskar loses his dad on 9-11, he's a 9 year old boy in search of answers, his best freind is his grandmother who survived Natzi Germany and who was left by her husband (Oskars dad) as soon as she found out she was pregnant 40 years earlier. The stories goes between Oskar, his grandma his grandpa and a few folks he meets while searching for something of his fathers! It's a great story, very unique and touching.
Dang, that parentheses should read (Oksars dad's dad)
