30 - The Ocean at the End of the Lane, by Neil Gaiman
WHY I PICKED IT: Recommended by a saleslady in the book store
ELAPSED TIME: 2 Days
RATING: Meh
A middle aged man comes to his childhood home for a funeral, and visits the house of a friend who lived down the lane. What follows is his memory of an adventure they shared (involving other worlds and something that is not quite magic).
I finished this feeling the same as I do when I finish a book by Murakami: A bit confused. The difference is that with Haruki Murakami, I enjoy the book a bit more. This is not a bad read, but I wouldn't recommend this book because there are much better books out there.
This blog is a simple review of every book that I read... For all books I’ll tell you why I picked it, how long it took me to read it, and give it a rating (burn it, not good, meh, good, very good, and required reading). I ask (encourage?) all readers of my blog to post their thoughts of any of the books in my comments :). Thanks!
