READ THE BOOK! This is one of those books that just has to be read. Nothing but reading can explain why it's so wonderful . Summaries won't tell you anything real about it. Reviews won't tell you anything real about it. It's an experience. I hadn't read Foer's first book, and so I had no idea what to expect. (I only bought this book to make my friend stop talking about how much she loved it.) But from the first few paragraphs I knew I was in the head (and heart) of an author with enormously important things to say and the enormous ability to say them. No question about it, this book takes a lot of risks, both in what is being written about, and how it's written. If you don't take the risks with him, you're not going to like the book. But if you do, it will make you smarter, braver, and more alive.
