I've been told I must read the book before I watch the movie...so here goes!

“Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living."

Just finished it. Wow. Plan on seeing the movie this weekend.

I absolutely loved "Everything is Illuminated". I can't wait to finish this!

Gotta read the book before watching the movie. I'm extremely curious to see a film adaptation, though.

Really enjoying this book...can't wait to see the movie!

Great book with a good mystery but narrated in the rambling easily distracted voice of a twelve year old with ADD... even when the book switches from person to person. However once you get used to it... more

Great book with a good mystery but narrated in the rambling easily distracted voice of a twelve year old with ADD... even when the book switches from person to person. However once you get used to it you find you get sucked into the flow of the book all the way til the end.

Giving this book a try

#amreading and hoping this isn't too incredibly close for my soul to take...

Just got it in the mail today...only47 pages in, good stuff!

Moving, from the very beginning.

I can't wait to start this.

Read this for book club a year ago or so, loved it.

The movie was great so I'm expecting the book will better.

Not really feeling this book. Just started hope it comes around soon

Interesting mind this boy has. With a mind like this he is destined to be a genius, serial killer, or both. Glad this story is supposed to have an inspirational message!

Going to read the book before I check out the movie.

Can't wait to see where this book goes. What an intelligent child this kid is.

I teared up in so many parts of this book. I hope the movie does as well as moving you. The book is amazing. The characters are believable and I read through it so quickly. I couldn't get enough of... more

I teared up in so many parts of this book. I hope the movie does as well as moving you. The book is amazing. The characters are believable and I read through it so quickly. I couldn't get enough of it. It is one of those books you don't want to end.

Ooh man...started to tear up on the bus ride into work this am...good book so far!

I love this book too much to ruin it by seeing the movie.

Engaging from the first page and beautifully written, it's easy to fall in love with too smart, grieving and broken Oskar. However, somebody please explain the ending? Thought I had a grasp on everything until suddenly the story just. stopped. Loved it, though.

Hall way through it. Extremely awesome! Can't wait to see the movie. :)

Vamos ver se consigo acabar antes de ver o filme!

Just started and I am enjoying it.

Only into the second chapter and loving it this kids eccentric ness is refreshing, and he makes me laugh with his humor.. Can't wait to finish reading so I can see the film!!

Reading the book before I see the movie

At one point it was like every single sentence in a page was totally quotable.

Done. I would say I need more closure except that I hate that word.

Finishing it up. Can't wait to see the movie now
