Start: april 10th 2011
End: april 13th 2011
Comment: Oskar misses his father and wants to know everything about his life. He wants to understand him. His mom doesn't really care much for that, she doesn't help him. He's a 9 year old boy trying to understand the world and his father. Why he died and how it happened. Oskar is a very brave and intelligent boy. It's almost like you're not reading a story about a kid, but an adult, but when his imagination starts working again you realize that he's a child. I think Foer did a brilliant job writing this book from Oskar's point of view. He writes it down exactly the way a kid would say it. Thinking out loud. I really want to read "Everything is Illuminated", because he got me enthusiastic. Foer is a good writer, I really liked this book. It was extremely well written and incredibly touching !
