The End of Mr Y
3 journalers for this copy...
She knows enough about its author, the eccentric Victorian scientist Thomas Lumas, to know that copies are exceedingly rare and, some say, cursed.
With Mr Y under her arm, Ariel finds herself swept into a thrilling adventure of love, sex, death and time-travel.

Really, this book was not what I expected at all. It was even better than I hoped. Ariel Manto's dark side was surprising to me. When I read the book summary I pictured her as a sweet, idealistic, and naive, but I was shocked to find out about her dirty secrets and to hear the kind of language she used. (Shocked in a good way, I like things a little rough around the edges like they are in the real world).
The books touches on a lot of philosophical and scientific issues and while I understood most of the philosophical discussions I was not able to keep up with the ones concerning quantum physics and other science realted things, but they in no way make the book less enjoyable. I actually learned a thing or two about science ans physics that I never knew about before. The end was really wild, but I won't say too much about it so it isn't spoiled. This novel kind of reminds me of the movie The Fountain. This is a book I'd like to see made into a movie. I think it would be very interesting to see these events play out in a visual manner.
The mice were a real trip!
