Is this book really less than 12 hours long? I'm about 3/4 of the way through and feel like I've been listening to it for months. You didn’t love this book-but did it have any redeeming qualities? But I don't feel I can give more stars for a book I'm disliking so much. I might be being too hard on them because of the book they're reading. Would you try another book written by Jonathan Safran Foer or narrated by the narrators?Īnother book by Jonathan Safran Foer - no. ![]() I want to read the book again - and again - and again - I believe that each time this book is read is another revelation - and an affirmation of life and love - even beyond the grave ![]() His mom has a small but crucial role in how she gave Oscar space to deal with the loss of his father while she had her own devils. He is so brave yet so vulnerable - and he brings such poignant joy to the people he meets on his journey towards his dad and his family. It tells how families can wish for the best things but still get things terribly wrong - it talks about guilt but it also talks about courage. ![]() The book is far richer and deeper than the movie. I did see it and later decided to listen to the audible book. So I hesitated watch the movie based on this book. Like many people, 9-11 was a watershed for me and still causes me pain to think about that terrible day and the way it changed the world. Breaks your heart and strengthens your soul
