Ronny Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I really enjoyed it. It came to me from a friend as well and it was everything he said it would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polka Dot Rock Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I read it last year and I thought it was great. Oskar is a wonderful character and the book actually made me cry. A highlight from last year for me It's also suspiciously similar to Nicole Krauss' The History of Love: Safran Foer and Krauss are married (I believe), but it was so freaky to read one after the other!

I'll have to read, The History of Love, soon. I have it here but had no idea they had anything in common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polka Dot Rock Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I'll have to read, The History of Love, soon. I have it here but had no idea they had anything in common. They're both brilliant books I was so freaked out about how similar they were - especially since it hadn't been pointed out to me nor read anything about it! Luckily, a friend read them both after me and noticed it so I wasn't going mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty_kitty Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I have this book!! I thought i might have it but most of my books are in storage but i found it - i am looking forawrd to reading it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 It's also suspiciously similar to Nicole Krauss' The History of Love: Safran Foer and Krauss are married (I believe), but it was so freaky to read one after the other! How strange! I read these books quite close together and had no idea that the authors were married, and also noticed a similarity in the style and themes. For me, I felt this one was a better book than The History Of Love, which I did start and then take a break and come back to, while I couldn't put down Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.
