![]() ![]() Their stories were far less interesting to me and, even though I often found Oskar annoying, I was always relieved when the story returned to him. The envelope has the word “Black” on it and, through a series of investigations, Oskar decides that “Black” must be a last name and so he embarks on a journey to visit every Black in New York City to see if they know about the key.Īt the same time, we hear narration from Oskar’s grandfather who is mute (and also abandoned his wife and unborn son (Oskar’s dad) decades earlier) and Oskar’s grandmother. A while after his death, Oskar accidentally breaks a vase in his dad’s closet and finds, in the vase, an envelope with a key. ![]() His dad, whom he adores, died in the World Trade Center in 9/11. The book is about Oskar Schell, a nine-year-old kid with too many brain cells for his own good. Whenever I listen to a book on CD I wonder if I would have liked it more or less if I’d read a print version. ![]() But I did count down every CD I put in (only three more CDs to go! only one more! Only two more tracks! Done!) and that’s not exactly a good sign. And, because of their reviews, it’s harder for me to say that I didn’t really care for this book.īut there it is. I listened to the Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close audiobook after reading very positive reviews of it by Kristy and Bethany. ![]()
