Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer came "incredibly close" to my heart. This novel took me about two weeks to read, but it was definitely worth the time. I think that this novel is desired by this generation. The events that happened on September 11th 2001 are wedged deep into our hearts, but are becoming less and less talked about. Discussed. Discovered. We don't want to forget, yet the stories are slipping through our fingers with the passage of time. This is where we thank Foer. He writes a book where the words jump out of the pages because for those of us who were alive that day, we can understand. I really believe that his novel will always remain a very important piece of modern American literature.
From my very weak perspective of the tradgedy the novel allowed me to walk in someone else's shoes for awhile. No matter what your story is, it is good to discover someone else's. The story is fiction, but very relatable to the true events.
I would definitely reccomend this book to everyone. Especially if you are open to new ideas and a very modern, emotional book.
