"the beginning of the world often comes"

Date of Review:  Jun 17, 2005
The Bottom Line: A funny, quirky, and moving collection of stories that - o happy surprise - lives up at last to its claim to be one whole novel.
Review: In some ways, I found Jonathan Safran Foer s debut novel Everything is Illuminated very easy to read, and I ll choose excerpts in a way that should let you decide if you agree. It was easy to read because it generally moves fast. It was easy to read...

Nothing is Illuminated

Date of Review:  Oct 28, 2004
The Bottom Line: Could have been so much less and succeeded so much more.
Review: Everything is Illuminated tries really, really hard to do the "right" (read: marketable) things. It's got an edgy little structure to it that's supposed to keep the reader a little unsettled and therefore interested. Its laudable subject matter is...

Everything is Illuminated

Date of Review:  Aug 31, 2005
The Bottom Line: Everything is Illuminated goes from quirky culture clash story to thoughtful reminder of the aftermath of WWII for generations to come.
Review: In 1997, author Jonathan Safran Foer decided to go on a trip to Prague to embark on a search for his roots. A badly planned 3-day trip to the Ukraine for clues to his Jewish ancestry eventually turned into the novel Everything is Illuminated...

Love and its antecedents

Date of Review:  Oct 11, 2005
The Bottom Line: .
Review: I'm going to have to grapple with some of the plotting in this book to provide anything near an illuminating review. This means I'm going to have to spill a few of its secrets, for which I apologize. Book reviewing is a tight-rope walk. People...

Almost Awful

Date of Review:  Jan 13, 2006
The Bottom Line: A nonsensical look at a young man's Jewish heritage and the horror of the Holocaust, the book is 90-percent tedium.
Review: Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer was a very disappointing book. My wife and I had a long drive over a weekend and we looked forward to passing the time on the road with an interesting book. Always looking for something new, she...

Clockwork Orange circa 2002

Date of Review:  May 21, 2004
Review: A pleasant play on words and a story line to compliment it. After completing this short novel I had the notion that the writer was a 60 year old Ukranian word smith, to my surprise JSF wrote this masterpiece in college. There is a completely unique...
