Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran FoerWell I gave this the old 50 page rule (actually I made it to 72) and I am going to put it down. The book is incredibly creative, funny and clever. But I just can't follow, my head is spinning as I try to figure out if Oskar is writing a real letter, or he is reading one, or if he is talking, or someone else is talking. I feel sheepish because this has gotten such high ratings but I guess my brain is just too tired for this one. Just need some more fluff.

So disappointing.
His wife's book, The History of Love, by Nicole Krauss, is much the same way...but I did finish it and enjoyed it, somewhat.
