  • Jerkass Woobie: Oskar
  • Les Yay: Grandma and Anna kissed each other back when they were children in Dresden. Problem is, it wasn't exactly how you would normally kiss your sister...
  • Too Soon: The most common complaint from critics when it was published. The harsher ones said that the book was written specifically to cash in on an American tragedy, the nicer ones simply said that Americans had not yet had time to fully process 9/11 and that Foer was preening by offering contrived insights dressed up in flowery language.
