Just really frustrating. I kept thinking it was or could be good but I just kept getting angrier at the cuteness and gimmicks. It seems like this is the third (kid with aspergers or kid who is amazingly precocious) book in a short time period...so this time it made me angry. And it's also about the ...
I had trouble following the timeline and pictures due to the Kindle ebook format--I recommend reading a paper copy of this book. It would take years to uncover all the literary meaning and messages in this book, yet this simply engaged me that much more! Although dialogue and plot is unclear at time...

I seriously think there is something wrong with me!Everyone I know has raved about this author and this book. I just could not for the life of me give a crap about this twisted and consulted family!Yes, don't get me wrong, the father passing away was really sad - I'm not heartless. But I just couldn...

His father died in the attack on the Twin Towers in 2001. I loved being inside Oskar's mind! To describe him as precocious...
Hmm. I almost gave this book a three because there are some things that I really liked about it and others that I really hated (and so it ends up in the middle), but I decided overall that it was better than average and so gave it a 4. So, I'll start with the positives. I loved the pictures. They...
Seeing the loss of someone from September 11th through the eyes of a child is what gives this book its incredibly powerful meaning. At first, I thought Oskar was precocious and difficult to understand, but as you go on this extremely moving journey with him, you watch Oskar grow as he searches for a...
Heartbreaking. A story about love and loss that's written through the eyes of a grieving child. This book made me smile, laugh, cry.. sometimes all at the same time.
OK, I think this is the top book on my hated most of all list, but, I did finish this one, so maybe not. To call this book a piece of garbage and that this book was beyond disgusting to me is really minimizing it. It actually took me 24 hours to process this review in my head. So, how do I hate thee...
