Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

I rarely blog about books because I usually don't read other people's posts about books.

But this book I MUST write about because it was excellent. I will NOT be donating this book to the library.

It is about a nine-year-old whose father died in 9/11. It is about grief, joy, family, love, heartbreak...

I found it disturbing and delightful and extremely clever. I sobbed the last three chapters and then had to go in Doug's room and snuggle with my sleeping angel.

Read this book (unless you are easily offended by a little sex and a few bad words--which I am not). It will change your life.
