Everything Is Illuminated

I finished this book tonight. And I recommend it. At first, I felt like I was just reading the movie script... but once you get into the book it's much different from the movie. I loved the movie, but I think I liked the book more. Even tho the book is DEFINITELY a lot sadder, more grotesque, and depressing, etc. I just finished it a little bit ago... and still feel a little odd after reading it, towards the end there is a lot to take in, especially because this book is mainly about the Holocaust. I'm definately looking forward to reading another book by Foer though, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, which I heard is actually much better than this one.
