Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

Humans are the only animal that blushes, laughs, has religion, wages war, and kisses with lips.  So in a way, the more you kiss with lips, the more human you are.

I am only half way through this book, but can already tell it is going to be one of my all time favorites. The storytelling is beautifully conveyed through words, photographs, drawings and even blank pages. It is really impressive in how well it ties the story together, and is an integral part in what makes this book so great.

I wish my commute to work was an extra hour each day just so I could read more of this book.
