Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

I just finished reading it. Probably one of my favorite books ever. Who else here has read it?

Tree of Codes is the only one I liked from him, but only for the novelty of reading such crazy format!

extremely loud and incredibly close fucked me up good. utterly heartbreaking - oh god, those final pages...

Great book, loved it

It's a great book. I loved it when I read it, but it still doesn't come close to touching the classics.

readable but other wise what ever.

yeah I read it a few years ago. loved it.

Why doesn't anywhere sell Tree Of Codes?

Considering the nature of the book and the price of it, the first run was I guess pretty small. You'll never see the book published in paperback.

I suggest you start looking at used-book websites (Abebooks, Alibris, Bookfinder)

I've only seen it listed as in paperback

and I also bought The Street of Crocodiles (the book it was based off of) because that would make me eligible for free shipping n shit, and it felt appropriate.
