The Seven Good Years by Etgar Keret

5.0

Full disclosure, I received an ARC of this book as part of the Goodreads Giveaways.
That being said, in the book was a little note from the publisher stating that since this was an uncorrected proof that I should not directly quote from the book because the author might make changes. I really hope this was did not happen since I could find nothing wrong with the book save for the fact that I wish it was longer.
Keret's chapters are perfect little port-holes allowing glimpses of his life and mind. Through the port-holes you see flashes of episodes that may be serious, sad, often absurd, and humorous all at once. Keret's writing is perfectly paced and always on pointe whether he is recounting lighthearted events, a trip to Euro-Disney for example, but also during the tragic such as terrorism and war.
I highly recommend this book. It is the perfect blend of the amusing and serious moments that together form a life.
