Novel by Jonathan Safran Foer

Blurb

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close je román z roku 2005. Napísal ju americký spisovateľ Jonathan Safran Foer. Pojednáva o krátkom úseku života osemročného chlapca, Oskara Schella, ktorému 11. septembra tragicky zahynul otec. Dej je písaný z 3 rôznych pohľadov - Oskara, jeho starého otca a starej mamy, ktoré sa časovo nedatujú do rovnakého obdobia. Kniha je obohatená o rôzne názorné kresby. Posledných 15 strán knihy tvoria obrázky osoby padajúcej z veže Svetového obchodného centra z dola nahor. Podľa Oskara by to mohol byť jeho otec, ktorý v budove zomrel. „...I found the pictures of the falling body. I ripped the pages out of the book. I reversed the order, so the last one was first, and the first was last. When I flipped through them, it looked like the man was floating up through the sky.“

Mir war das ein bisschen zu viel an Emotionen. Ich kann an der Traurigkeit anderer Leute nicht so viel positives sehen.

Good and extremely emotional rollercoaster throughout the book. The deeper you delve into it, the more you'll find yourself connected with the story and be able to empathize with the main character. It is a great emotional rollercoaster of a ride throughout the book and when I was finished with it, it left me sort of empty and throughout the book the author subtly keeps on striking on those emotional chords. Overall, I loved reading it.
