Book Review (Extremely Loud and Incredible Close)

Extremely Loud and Incredible Close by Johnathan Safran Foer 

This story is told through the eyes of a nine year old boy, Oskar. He takes the reader on an adventure through New York as he searches for the lock that fits an old key that belonged to his father, a victim of the 9/11 attack.  This author has a very unique style that I had a hard time following in the beginning.  However, once you get to know Oskar, the nine year old boy telling the story, you begin to understand his humor and perspective.  Although this wasn't one of my favorite books, it was still worth the time.  Plus the movie actually comes out January 20th in theaters everywhere.
