Well, this was a disappointment.

I LOVE the cover, and I really love the idea of the book. I also do understand why so many publishers are attracted to this book: they can relate very well to the concept of this book. That does not happen very often.

But the idea of manuscripts is overdone, because the manuscript in this book (so far so good) point towards an other lost manuscript. Too much bookinception for me. 1 time this idea: cool. 2 times: overdone it.

But the writing style was the thing that put me off most. It is so passive, and in the past time. i got the feeling of that history teacher/grandpa that is sitting down and telling you what happened all those years ago.

I do like the 3 perspectives, with each it's own truth. That, and the manuscript idea, makes it more than 1*. but I did not enjoyed reading this at all, it felt so boring and it all felt 'told', no more than 2* for me.
