Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer

TITLE: Everything Is Illuminated
AUTHOR: Jonathan Safran Foer
READ: February-March
THOUGHTS: Had to read this for school -- expected to hate this book and found that it was actually very enjoyable. JSF is clearly a 'talented' writer, albeit definitely a writer 'writing to' a specific sort of audience, that audience being the kind of people whose taste in books I don't generally find agreeable, but this was fine. Definitely a lot of cheekiness or whatever that was a little much, and the 'dramatic' parts I found to be a bit cloying.
