This is a beautifully written book with a lot of depth! If you like fairytales with a dark twist, you'll love The Book of Lost Things. I loved it. However, I wouldn't recommend it for kids as it has a lot of content that can be disturbing. Great book overall though!

Whatever age you are, if you love fantasy (especially slightly frightening fantasy), this book will delight you. It's just incredible & it's John Connolly at his best. This is basically a portal fantasy unlike anything you have read before. WWII is a backdrop, functioning symbolically as well. Oh man, this book is just so darn good--just read it immediately regardless of what age you are.

I recently read John Connolly's THE BOOK OF LOST THINGS and loved it. It's an unheralded fantasy classic that should get a lot more play than it does. Along with John Crowley's LITTLE, BIG, Connolly's book deserves to be read and read again.

Buying it as a gift. Some people don't like used books but I think it's kind of a waste to buy otherwise! Plus this book has history of where it came from which I think is kind of fun. Good condition, no torn pages. The cover had been nicely protected.
