This is my all-time favorite book.  I, also could not put it down, but not because there were epic cliff-hangers or fast-paced story.  The charascters are very well developed and create an insatiable need to find out more.  Jonathan Safran Foer is my favorite author, not only because he has amazing story-telling abilities but because of his clever diction and syntax blended with an interesting format.

Foer is a literary master, and everyone should read this and “Everything is Illuminated”.

With such an intense subject, this book had the potential to come out entirely wrong. I was pleasantly surprised when I started to read this, because I immediately fell in love with the main character and the story. It wasn't fast paced, but I couldn't put it down. I was drawn to the mix of innocence and intellect that Oskar brought to the novel, and the mix of a past story added to the book's depth. This definitely has become one of my favorite books.

A friend recommended this book a couple of months ago. The story itself may sound boring, it's not very thrilling at all; but the writing is just brilliant - it's fun to read and very witty written. The emotions while reading this book go from very funny to absolutely sad. I love this characters in this book that are well developed, especially Oscar. Foer often jumps into the past and back which may be a bit confusing in the beginning, but this make the book even more interesting to read.

Foer uses easy words that are also understandable for an English speaking intermediate. But the way how he uses the words is astounding. One of the best books I've ever read. I can highly recommend this book.

Foer is truly amazing at his craft.  This book is thought provoking, light hearted, and a drama.  It's such a cliche, but I really did laugh and cry while reading it.  But I promise you, your boot's woln't be heavy long. 

This was the type of book that I just couldnt put down.  On the second day of reading it I stayed up untill 3am to finish it.
