Extremely loud and incredibly close

I like reading in English, and since this book entered my heart and has lingered there since, I have chosen to write about exactly that - In English...

Short and sweet - this book is about a boy who lost his father in 9/11. He finds a key amongst his fathers things and starts a search to find what the key unlocks, could it bring him closer to his father or further away?

This book had me at the first chapter title: What the? which is my general consensus throughout the book! And I love it! All the way... It's a race against the words and the thoughts that form at incredible speed, vivid pictures (and actual pictures) this book is unlike anything I have ever read! The word vomit makes me smile, laugh and wonder.
The "letters to my unborn child" are the chapters that makes me linger, makes me fall in love, makes me not want to turn the page, afraid that if I do, they will push out my tears... and without a doubt, they do...

I started quoting this book, but by page 33, I realized that I could not quote this book, as I would be writing it in its entirety...

I have no words to describe how much this book moved me! Sometimes I feel as if it was written for me... for the voice I have inside me... I'm wary of recommending people to read it as I'm afraid not everyone will "get" it... but it most definitely spoke to me!

This book broke my heart.
This book made me laugh.
This book made me cry.
This book made me think.
This book made me mad.
This book made me happy.

This book now that I read it, will always be a part of me....
