i almost liked this BETTER than everything is illuminated. i think because i had already read something of his, and knew his style, there was no adjustment period here like there was with everything is illuminated. he also seems more comfortable writing, and is freer in his character development with oskar. i'm also totally endeared by precocious kids who are too clever for their own good, so i loved oskar immediately. some of the storylines (with the guy with stuff written on his hands?) seemed a little rushed, like JSF was trying to layer a few too many things in there, but still really good, and definitely worth reading.
