Loved this book written from the perspective of a super intelligent 9 year old boy who is dealing with the loss of his father in the world trade centre attack. it deals with that loss as well as other war related losses and the complicated ways we try to live after such losses. Humourous, intelligent, quirky with pictures that make you think. Big stars from me. :)

My all time favorite book ever. About a special boy who loses his father in 9/11. But more than this, it poses questions of all of us- or rather, it should. What really led to 9/11? No, not the conspiracy theory or the politics of it all... but what is it about humanity (or lack) in the contemporary world that allows for this kind of horrific event to happen? Are we losing our willingness and ability to communicate and make meaningful connections? Pay close attention to the novel's sub-plot about the grandparents, particularly the grandfather, who slowly loses his ability to communicate. Hmmm. The main character Oskar will fill your heart with joy as he attempts to solve a mystery and come to terms with his father's death.

The ending doesn't really hold up to how great the rest of the book is, but still well worth a read.
