It took me two tries to get into The Book of Lost Things; I'm not sure why. I think I just wasn't in the right place for it the first time. The second time, I stayed attached to it until I got to the very last page, all the way through the story, through the interview with John Connolly, and the not...

I found this book in the library. Yap, another wondering around the shelves. Anyway, I won't write review, mostly cause I dunno how to do that.

I completely lost myself in this stor...

He gets lost in the world that's slowly evolving around him - there's a great war going on, his father is moving on with his li...

God damn it Goodreads! Let us do half stars!! lolI give this book 4.5What a great mix of fairy tales and darkness. This book was given to me to read by a friend and based on just reading the back, I assumed it was a childrens book. I was wrong. Where the main character is a boy of 12, the story itse...
