Extremely Erratic but Incredibly Cool!

Wow!
The more I've begun talking about this book the more layers I find to it! as Shrek would say "[it's] like an Onion" and no it's not because the book stinks, or that it makes you cry (although you might), and certainly not because if you leave it out in the sun it turns brown and sprouts little white heads.[if your lost go here]

Oskar is not your normal 9 year old boy. He is very intelligent and inquisitive. He might even have Asperger syndrome which is similar to Autism, "which I know about". The story is hard to find at first its almost like life! you just get thrown into the stream of consciousness of Oskar's mind. Even the dialogue is blended together instead of traditional hard returns for each new person speaking. Then when you feel like you start to get your bearings it changes again! at first it's frustrating but you learn how it goes and it becomes fun!

The story overall is actually sad but there are lots of funny lines here and there to keep you from crying

Oskar is an inventor some of his inventions are cool!
Birdseed shirt: so birds would come and fly you to safety.
Drain under everyone's pillow: when people cry them self to sleep their tears good down their drain and into a huge reservoir.
A monitor that makes the sound of your heart beat. everyone would have one so you could be more aware of how they are feeling. Calm, nervous or whatever the situation.
Also there is an ambulance that has a scrolling message that will be able to sense when the loved one of the person were watching and would tell them if it they were going to be ok or if it was serious.
There were also the idea to give skyscrapers airbags.
...there are many more

the reason for his inventions pop into his head when he is nervous or worried about something. They mostly are inventions that could save his Dad from dieing in the world trade center on 9-11. through out the book you can't help but feel for Osker and honestly I wanted to cry once or twice but the ending is worth it so don't let that discourage you from reading it.
ok thats it for now I still need to write a paper on this!
