Lauren has another book review up, this time about Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close: A Novel.
Sometimes over the top, sometimes overly sentimental, this story is indeed extremely loud and incredibly close. But Oskar Schell’s tenderness is almost impossibly beautiful. His navigation through a complicated, painful, young life with eyes wide open is a gentle reminder that sometimes the greatest wisdom is just a little bit small.

That kind of looks like my hand after a long night alone on the Internet.
