Review of 'Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I felt like Oskar's discourse got cheesy or contrite at some points but regardless its worthwhile fiction read. I give it 4 starts because i didn't fully finish it and it took me a long time to read. I didn't necessarily find it "edge-of-my-seat-captivating-can't-put-it-down" style for me but i could see someone with a better attention span/ calmer than me to love this book.
