'Everything is Illuminated' by Jonathan Safran Foer

Foer, who uses his name as the main character of the story, travels to the Ukraine from America to unravel the mystery saviour of his grandfather from the Nazi's. Alex, the Ukrainian translator English is hilarious and outrageous. It is as if he is using Google translator to convert his native Ukrainian into English.

Foer has a gift to amuse the reader, with an energetic type of prose, that is second to none.
