I enjoyed the book. I loved the story when it was being told by Oskar. His perception of life and the world around him is amazing. I thought that grandparents story was a bit confusing. At times it was difficult to follow what character was speaking because of the authors style. But it didn't take long to catch on. It was a very fast read. I may have enjoyed it more than some being a teacher who works with Autistic children. I saw an array of my students neatly tucked into Oskar. Eye opening ending.

This book was okay. It read quickly once I got into it. I didn\\\\\\\'t feel that usual pull I feel when I am reading. I didn\\\\\\\'t have the need to stay up reading because I needed to know what came next. It was slow to get started and long to finish. I also was not a fan of the too often used vulgar language.
