Uggggh. Super mixed feelings about this one. 
 First: I didn't love it. I'm not sure I can even say that I liked it. I kept putting it down and picking it back up out of a sense of obligation, and a feeling that maybe this time I would really "get" it, but I guess I never did. 
 I liked seeing things from Oskar's unique POV (even if some of his narrations did seem pretty twee). And I liked his scavenger hunt story line (even if I had a little trouble making sense of it). But the book as a whole was a little too muddled for me, and rather depressing, but not in that cathartic sort of way that makes you feel like you've really earned your sad little book hangover, more like in a well, life is kinda lame sort of way. 
 I didn't hate it, but I'm not satisfied with it either.
