Everything Is Illuminated

A great read. Very well-written and humorous, while still being touching.

Second time reading. Beautiful and
tragic as ever.

Safran manufactured a premium story.

Brilliant

I just re-read this. I don't think I liked it as much the second time. I'm not sure. Maybe I was just feeling grumpier the second time around.

i thought i would get tired of alex's comic-effect bad english, but i never did. it was hilarious. also, it is hard to write a holocaust-journey-of-remembrance without being a big ol' cliche, but i didn't think this was. basically i liked it a whole lot and cried a l'il bit.

I don't get why “everyone” loves this book. It was good but not great. Well written but at times a little all over the place. A little too much sex for me and TMI! I did enjoy the Jonathan/Sasha exchanges.
