Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
"Planes going into buildings. Bodies falling. Planes going into buildings. Bodies falling. Planes going into buildings. Planes going into buildings. Planes going into buildings."
This book was incredible. I cried in the beginning. I cried in the middle. I broke down sobbing at the end. This book takes all the pain and fear of losing someone you love and puts it on paper in a way that is both completely honest and brilliantly poetic. Grab a box of tissues, a cup of tea, and maybe a teddy bear before you dive into this heart melting story.

This particular edition ended with a flip-book of the man (possibly Oskar's father) falling UP, back into the building, back down the elevator, back onto the street, back home, back to September 10th when he tucked his son in and everyone was safe.
