WOW! I cannot tell you how much this book really blew me away. So well-written, and so compelling a story! This is the story of Oskar Schell, a precocious nine year old who finds a key in his father's closet and sets out to find what the key goes to. It is a story of love and loss and family and 09/11, and as previously mentioned, is such a great read that it kept me coming back to it after I put it down. I started off reading this on my color Nook, but I quickly found out that this book has some unusual formatting and pictures which don't carry through very well on the Nook. I ended up going to buy a paper copy and was able to catch up with what I missed, but I don't recommend reading it on the Nook. It is one awesome book, though and not to be missed.
