You've probably heard of the film version that recently came out; a boy loses his father in the September 11th bombings, finds a key in his room then spends his time searching for the lock it fits. It sounds dull and cliché but the book truly wasn't. I found myself laughing and crying; the characters were relatable and I found Oscar, the protagonist, such a fascinating character (he reminded me somewhat of Charlie in Perks of Being a Wallflower). He has an incredibly animated and contagious excitement towards the world. While the film isn’t great, the book’s definitely worth reading.
