The Book of Lost Things Audiobook

" Pretty good book. Some dark twisted parts to it which were creepy but an interesting enough read. "

" Amazing book! The Crooked Man is a serious trickster, and an amazing character. I love how the main character grew throughout the chapters...from beginning to end...I seriously loved this book! "

" This is the best book of all time! "

" I really enjoyed this book because it brought about a different perspective to fairy tales and a modern perspective of them. Parts of it were scary, but Connolly provides great imagery and an amazing story about a young boy growing up and how he struggles to figure out his place in life with his father and new family. "

" I wish this book was a series! It was such an amazing, wonderful, magical book. I highly recommend this for anyone. "

" This was an unexpected book from Connolly. It was dark and creepy and felt like a fairy tale the way they really are. Full of death and pain and blood and lose and sadness. I really liked it. "

" This book is feast for the mind of an illustrator! "

" A child-appropriate tale with a very dark edge--made for an interesting light read. "

" I love this book so much :) "

" Wasn't in the mood for fantasy. "

" fantastic read for anyone who has fallen out of the habit of reading "

" Loved the origins at the back of the book "

" this was a fun read for halloween season. John connolly did a great job with the bad guy. I love how many of the twists and turns revolve around classic fairytale and I thought it was a good story line. there are some morbid scary parts but it added to the mood. "

" Brilliantly written, very cleverly thought out. "

" This book was really sweet. It's a weird mix of fairy tales in an adult version. While I was reading it, I wasn't sure it was that good. But somehow I couldn't put it down. And I finished it within a week. "

" I thing I may not finish this book "

" Disappointed...Had expected more from this book after hearing great things about it. "

" Singularly one of the best books I have ever read. An expert blend of reality and fantasy and a delightful ride through the dark and light of fairy tales. Be on your guard for this one; it won't let you rest and it's not docile. If you liked Raymond Feist's "Faerie Tale", keep going with this one. "

" This was a fun, quick read. Basically a different spin on all of the familiar folk-tales we've all heard, but maybe a PG-13 version instead of G. I enjoyed Connolly's attention to detail throughout the book. He paints a vivid picture and puts the reader right into the scenes. "

" ...very dark for a children/young adult book... "

" I actually liked the book until the very last chapter. It was if you were lead up nicely to be really rushed and let down at the end. My thoughts... "

" A fun story full of fairy tales, many with a new twist. I wouldn't recommend it for kids though, it's pretty violent and twisted at times. "

" Lots of fairy tales either told in the story or found in the story. Hint: Snow White wasn't someone that was kind to the dwarfs. "

" Again another book I never finished, but really enjoyed what I read, I now have it back out from the libery and hoping to finish it. "

" Meh. I can't get into the story properly, I think because of the style of writing. Story concept seems cool but it took too long to get into. Unfinished for now.... "

" This is a book of bizarre (to say the least) fairy tale twists. Some parts are alarming and some are funny, overall, in interesting read so far. Not one of my favorites but an interesting adventure. "

" If you like creepy original fairy tales before their Disney and kids book makeovers, you'll love this book. "
