The second I clapped the covers together all I could think was, "I've gotta see the movie!" It's been on my recommend Netflix list for quite some time. I was convinced that I would have to read the book first, because that's just the way I roll. I'd love to read Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close real soon but since the film just popped out into theaters, I figure it'll be a while before I can get my hands on a copy from the library.
I have to admit, I mocked this book before reading it - based on looks alone. The text point is just below my comfortable read size. The scale of the font size may have been an illusion, since I was overwhelmed with text ALL OVER the pages. It's as though someone sat down and thought "how can I get this book under 300 pages?" I know it's petty and not really anything to seriously pick at, but it left a negative first impression on me. Seriously hesitant not to read the book. And then the snow storm came.... I started reading this book by candlelight (which I will not recommend). And then I slowly read through the broken English.... I restarted last week and fell in love with the book. Despite all that: 5/5.
