Has anyone read this by Jonthan Saffran Foer? I have just been lent it by a friend and they absolutely rave about it?

Have heard great things about it.

[Snowflake]

Oh good, I shall get stuck into it then....:readingtwo:

I really enjoyed it. It came to me from a friend as well and it was everything he said it would be.

Am going to write a proper review of this

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.

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 :lol:
