Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

I've been meaning to read this for FOREVER (and even purchased the audio a couple of years ago!) because readers with good taste keep telling me it's amazing. From Booklist This follow-up to Foer's extremely good and incredibly successful Everything Is Illuminated stars one Oskar Schell, a nine-year-old amateur inventor and Shakespearean actor. But Oskar's boots, as he likes to say, are very heavy--his father, whom he worshiped, perished in the World Trade Center on 9/11. In his dad's closet a year later, Oskar finds a key in a vase mysteriously labeled "Black." So he goes searching after the lock it opens, visiting (alphabetically) everyone listed in the phone book with the surname Black. No spoilers here, but we will say that the book ends with what is undoubtedly the most beautiful and heartbreaking flip book in all of literature."
