This book is a diary, and the girl writing it is blind, so she explains details in characters personalities, but not physical appearances unless someone tells her what they look like. For example, Bess wrote, “Amanda has a deep, throaty voice and is by far the more talkative of the two.” The plot of the story moves very slowly. There isn’t a lot of action in the diary, so that’s one of the things that make it move by slowly.…

Foer decided to write the book like this to make it more like reality. It takes a long time to really get to know another person, and by withholding information about the characters he displays this.…
