In this excellent recording of Foer's second novel, Woodman artfully captures the voice of nine-year-old Oskar Schell, the precocious amateur physicist who is trying to uncover clues about his father's death on September 11. Oskar—a self-proclaimed pacifist, tambourine player and Steven Hawking fanatic—is the perfect blend of smart-aleck maturity and youthful innocence. Articulating the massive words slowly and punctiliously with simply a hint of childishness, Woodman endearingly conveys the voice of an young child who is wanting desperately to sound as an adult. The parallel story lines, beautifully narrated by Ferrone and Caruso, add variety on the imaginative and captivating plot, nevertheless they usually do not translate quite as seamlessly into audio format. Ferrone's wistful growl is ideal to the voice of your man who are able to will no longer speak, consider the listener actually gets to listen for the language how the character can only convey by writing on the notepad, his frustrating silence is less profound. Caruso's brilliant performance being an adoring grandmother is also noteworthy, however the meandering stream-of-consciousness style of her and Ferrone's sections are occasionally hard to follow along with on audio. Although it's Oskar's poignant, laugh-out-loud narration which make this audio production indispensable.

Adult/High School-Oskar Schell just isn't your average nine-year-old. A budding inventor, he spends his time imagining wonderful creations. He also collects random photographs for his scrapbook and sends letters to scientists. When his father dies in the World Trade Center collapse, Oskar shifts his boundless energy to some search for answers. He finds an important hidden in his father's items that doesn't fit any lock in their New York City apartment; its container is labeled "Black." Using flawless kid logic, Oskar sets out to talk to everyone in Ny City using the surname of Black. A retired journalist who keeps a card catalog with entries for all he's ever met is simply one with the colorful characters the boy meets. Such as Things Are Illuminated (Houghton, 2002), Foer takes a dark subject and works in offbeat humor with puns and wordplay. But Extremely Loud pushes further using the inclusion of photographs, illustrations, and mild experiments in typography reminiscent of Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions (Dell, 1973). The humor works being a deceptive, glitzy cover for any fairly serious tale about loss and recovery. For balance, Foer includes the subplot of Oskar's grandfather, who survived the Wwii bombing of Dresden. Even though this story is less than as evocative as Oskar's, it will carry forward and fasten firmly for the rest with the novel. The two stories finally intersect in a very powerful conclusion that will make even the most jaded hearts fall.-Matthew L. Moffett, Northern Virginia Community College, Annandale
