Synopsis:
"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.

I loved this book.
Fairy tale, quest, coming of age, this book has a bit of everything. I wasn't bored a minute while reading, as a matter of fact I'm sad that I'm done.

A highly recommended read for those who like (the more adult version of) fairy tales.

Will be sent out to another bookcrosser, as requested by linguistkris.

This book is now on its way to feloris, who is the benificiary of linguïstkris' wislist tag with this book.
Safe travels, little book and happy reading, feloris!

The herald of your -very belated- Christmas parcel, I hope. Thought of you often when I read it (but had already promised it, so couldn't send it to you straight away) and hope you'll like it as much as I did!

Arrived on my doorstep some time last week - thanks so much! I've been meaning to read this for ages. :) I'm sure it will keep me good company on my train to work soon. :)
