Oskar Schell is one of those wonderfully colourful and expertly written characters, a nine year old boy who’s life is turned upside down by 9/11 disaster.
I urge you to read this book, it ranks with the highest scores I’ll ever give…never going to be a perfect ten by the way.
Let me know what you think of his ‘heavy boots’
