Book: Everything is illuminated
Jan. 21st, 2008 10:27 pmAuthor: Jonathan Safran Foer
Details: (c) Jonathan Safran Foer 2002; Pub Penguin Books 2003; ISBN 0-141-00825-3
Verdict: Everything is illuminated is clever and occasionally moving.
Reasons for reading it: I am not big into Holocaust novels, and I really wasn't all that keen to read a surreally humourous Holocaust novel. However, my family said good things about this one, Screwy especially, so I thought it worth a try.
How it came into my hands: Borrowed from my parents when I was last at home.
