So far, I really like this book. It is like nothing else I have read before. Oskar is an interesting character. I like the way he thinks and the ideas he presents. I can't help but feel both sad and confused while reading this book. Oskar and his dad really seemed to have a special bond, and now that his dad is gone, Oskar has changed. I was kind of confused when reading the part about the person who didn't have words and couldn't speak. Was that person Oskar? I thought it was his grandfather, and the woman was his grandmother, because the woman in that part (pg. 30) said, "'...the weather is one hundred dollars...'" and then later on (pg. 71), Oskar's grandmother said, "'That sounds like one hundred dollars.'" This part, and many other parts, seem to me like they are going to all come together at the end of the book. At this moment, it is frustrating because nothing seems to make sense, but hopefully by the end, it all will.
