goodreads review: The Book of Lost Things
November 2nd, 2008
The Book of Lost Things, John Connolly.
Acquired: Half-Price Books! whut-whut.
In typical Connolly form, The Book of Lost Things is a journey through frayed, twisted, and warped fairy tales. Dealing with loss through a series of alternately light and sinister constructs, Connolly tells a typical coming-of-age story in atypical fashion. It was a bit weak at points, but when it was on, it was poignant and memorable. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a quick read that gives them something to talk about. Best part: the communist dwarves. Clearly. Every book needs more of those.
