Heavy Boots

I can't help but feel sad as I read the final pages of Jonathan Safran Foer's "Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close." I have been putting off the inevitable finishing of this book since I began reading it at the start of the summer, because it is a story more about the journey than the destination and  I couldn't stand the thought of this road coming to an end. While on face value it is a story about 9/11, at it's heart it is simply a beautiful, heartbreaking story about dealing with loss, both of loved ones and of innocence. If you haven't already read it I highly suggest you pick up a copy, you won't want to put it down but you'll never want it to end.
