Everything Is Illuminated - Jonathan Safran Foer

The movie version of this book was recommended to me recently and I still haven't managed to watch it, but when I saw the book at the library last Friday I thought I'd read first. There was a feeling of sadness and dread that I got from this book, something that hasn't happened to me when reading another book. I absolutely loved the character of Alex (Sasha). I want to see the movie now and see how the book was translated into images.
