This is my kind of book. I read many reviews about how convoluted and nonsensical the narration was. I was worried about it. However, even though I listened to it rather than read a physical copy, I only had to go through an hour of narration before I was completely engrossed in the story, and not at all confused by the many storylines set in different times. It was more than I expected or hoped for. It reminded me of the Never Ending Story by Michael Ende, even though it's not really the same, but it almost made me feel the way I did when I read that as a young adolescent or child. There is something hopeful in the story, and so many topics touched upon beautifully through the lives of the characters. It made it so much more special that it was a book about a book...and the fact that that book is inspired in a potentially real book, it's even more special to me. Ahhhh I loved it. If the sinopsis provided by others draws your attention, you should definitely give it a shot.
