Format:Paperback
Probably not the best summary for a collection which begins with a short personal piece about heart trouble in the family, followed by the first three chapters of Foer's new novel - but what's striking about Lightning is how emotionally open it is: a refreshing quality these days; at the same time, the writing is always innovative and insightful, and although not every stylistic trick convinces, and the odd one owes a bit to Paul Auster, it's engaging and leaves you curious for more ... and repays rereading too.

i really enjoyed this book; the writing style is refreshingly original and its little enough to read in one go - it has inspired me to read more by this author, who i was previously unaware of.

Buyer Beware!
9 Feb 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am an avid fan of Jonathan Safran Foer, so when I found this on Amazon I bought it despite the lack of any details on what it is about. I thought perhaps it was just something of his that I had not read before. When I received it I found that it is a 10 page essay, A Primer for the Punctuation of Heart Disease, and the first few chapters of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. I felt slightly cheated that it comprises mostly of a book I already own. I guess I will know to research more on other sites before buying something that has no description.
