A review by laurasauras
Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer
5.0
23/05/2023 Still one of my favourite books, if not taking out the top spot. I just can't get over the beauty of an author so in love with stories, in love with his first book, who writes of a family cursed to never feel love the way they feel they should, who then writes the book loving him back. Because it does, Alex does; it's a love story where one is confined to the pages and the other only expresses himself through telling stories about other people.
So many beautiful quotes in this. It made me laugh and cry as it did the first time and I treasure that it made me feel so very strongly. It's a masterclass in the power of word choice in conveying sincerity.
28/08/2020 This may be the best book I've ever read. Definitely top ten. It's such a beautiful story, one that manages to be about so many things and nothing more than love. I'll be thinking about it for a very long time.
