I was really looking forward to this book, but I just didn't enjoy it. I usually don't have a problem with "stories within stories" but I just didn't enjoy the storyline about Oskar's grandfather,. I found those parts of the book to be difficult to slog through, and they left me feeling depressed and sad, which was my overall feeling upon finishing the book. Again, it's usually not a problem for me to read stories about difficult or depressing topics, but this one was too much for me!
