I finished The Book of Lost Things this morning! It was such a good book. I don't think it's everyone's cup of tea, but I think its definitely worth a try! It was an easy read and a fun adventure. It was a bit dark and gruesome and disturbing at parts, but I think there's still something to learn from it all. And although the last chapter was kinda lame, the last page made it okay.
I liked how the author put a dark twist on old fairy tales and there were some very surprising and unexpected moments which made me like the book so much.
Anyway, here's the little synopsis from the book cover...
"High in his attic bedroom, twelve-year-old David mourns the death of his mother, with only the books on his shelf for company. But those books have begun to whisper to him in the darkness. Angry and alone, he takes refuge in his imagination and soon finds that reality and fantasy have begun to meld. While his family falls apart around him, David is violently propelled into a world that is a strange reflection of his own -- populated by heroes and monsters and ruled by a faded king who keeps his secrets in a mysterious book, The Book of Lost Things.Taking readers on a vivid journey through the loss of innocence into adulthood and beyond, New York Times bestselling author John Connolly tells a dark and compelling tale that reminds us of the enduring power of stories in our lives."
Hope you're all having a good weekend! Xoxo
