The Book of Lost Things Illustrated Edition Bewertungen

Brilliantly creepy coming of age novel. Mirror Here Connolly steps directly into the enchanted forest, and the journey along its twisting path is as sinister and unsettling as anything invented by the Brothers Grimm ... Connolly's control of this material is superb; tension, terror and gallows humour make the book a gripping read. But this allegorical coming-of-age story also cleverly shows the way that traditional stories have been used to reflect the sometimes harsh concerns of our world. -- Eithne Farry Daily Mail John Connolly has a cult following for his crime novel and can clearly plot twists and turns. He has applied that talent to his own life by producing a very different book ... a highly original novel using stories that we all know. But think twice before reading his version of Hansel and Gretel to your kids. The Times
