Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

This will be one of my all-time favorite books. Harper Lee's quote, “the book to read is not one that thinks for you but the one which makes you think” perfectly applies here. I loved the journey it took me on and I was sorry to see it end. As a rule, I don't reread books but I will probably make an exception with this book. I lauged, I cried, I reflected on the smaller details of life, imagination, and relationships. Thank you Jonathan Safran Foer for giving us such a delightful story and told in such a creative way.

sidenote: I don't know how the movie will be able to convey the story the way the book did but I don't really care. I'm sure it will be a good movie but I feel like I have a genuine treasure from reading the book.
