Summary: book of intimate grammar
Comment: it's been a long time since i read a book written in stream-of-consciousness, and when i picked up and started this book, i realized
that i'd attempted to read it before and, i guess, just hadn't been in the mood to attempt it at some previous time. i'm glad i persisted.
the immediacy of the 14-year-old main character's experiences is visceral and moving. the book is described as a [...] it is also a sometimes erotic, often comic, and almost always relentlessly intriguing word picture of a painfully excised slice-of-life on glaring display. the 14-year-old's confusion, and his labyrynthine interior exploration for the causes of the effects he sees so keenly (effects which are described vividly and sympathetically) open understanding to the reader. grossman is masterful.

Summary: Wonderful!
Comment: Grossman is on of the best Israeli novelist of the modern ages. This is a beautiful, beautiful description of growing up. Take this book and a day off, because you wouldn't let it leave your hands. One of the best books I've ever read.

Summary: A journey of one boy into adolesence and out of this world.
Comment: A young boy named Aaron struggles to get away from the things in his life that appall him the most: food, his family, girls(with one exception), and the war. With his over-self-reflection Aaron is dragged into his own world of masochism and special words saved like pennies in a jar for rainy days. He is a boy that is mixed up and not so mixed up. He composes the child that we have all been for at least one moment in time. He is the future, he has been part of the past, and he is ageless while still being locked within an age
