Customer Review

Extremley loud and incredibly close is also a wonderful, amusing and sad story of a boy named Oskar who has lost his father in the attacks of 11 September in New York. The loss crashes Oskar in an emotional confusion that Oskar to take, to engage in an adventure in the form of unclaimed key with a tiny note, found in the closet of his father.

On his adventure across New York, he meets people he comes very close to its youth and thus also by childishness, naivete and honesty, but only at the end turns out whether his own goal, his father died in detail by searching for come rises.

In between the desperate and confusing story of his grandmother and his grandfather is written that the anscheinen has to have no connection to Oskar.

In this very beautiful novel of the loss of a loving people and its processing is shown through the eyes of a child. Consequently, one has to smile at locations other cry and to turn to others both. A pure reading pleasure, which acts in some places too lengthy and repetitive.

Thus deserved four stars!
