Ok, so I completed Book 21- Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close - quite some time ago. I read it very quickly. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I don't remember much more than that. My brain has been a bumbly jumble of thoughts, lines, ideas - some mine, some others - so much so lately that I am losing track. I'm entirely too young for this kind of behavior which leads me to hope - at the very least HOPE that this is merely an attention issue. I am not paying as much attention. I'm letting things slip.
Wow...my blog suddenly became about me, rather than about my reading. Annoying.
Anyway, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close was a beautiful and moving 9/11 story from the perspective of a child (for the most part) but I wouldn't necessarily call it a children's or Young Adult book. There is some tough stuff in there...nothing a kid couldn't handle...but just some stuff you might want to know about before handing over a copy to Jr. for summer reading.
But an excellent read. I want to read more of Jonathan Safran Foer's work and definitely read and see Everything is Illuminated. Talented writer. Moving story. Good book.
