Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
5.0

I honestly don't even know where to start.
This book was amazing. The best that I have read in a very long time. I love how to start it seems that there are several different stories running alongside each other. And as the book develops and unfolds the stories start to intertwine and become one.
Near the end, it was only after I touched my face that I realised that I was crying. It was not because I was overly sad, or overly happy. I was just crying because. There was no reason behind it.
That is what I love about this book.
The emotions are real, and raw. Everything fits and everything makes sense.

It is very clever, I really love how it works as a whole piece of work. A piece of art if literature can be referred to in that way.
