This is a harder book to relate to because I have never had a father die and certainly not in an attack. For teenagers like myself; this book is an eye-opener because it shows just how easy some of us have it. It is a very well thought out and crazy book but at the same time it gives a clear message; live life to the fullest.
I picked up this book and immediately recieved an incredible shock. This book is powerful! It's a little hard to understand at first, at least for me, but you get drawn right into the story. Since it's about 9/ll, the story strikes right to your heart. The story goes back and forth between Oskar, and this other character, whom for a portion of the book you aren't sure who they are. Oskars journey is a really memorable on and I highly recommend this.
