librarybonanza 's review for:

The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly
4.0

Age: (not-for-the-feint-hearted) Teen-Adult
Fairytales: loose incorporations of Fairytale elements like werewolves, ogres, knights, witches, and woodsmen;
Spoiler Two tales in particular were Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Rumpelstiltskin


At times gruesome and with actual death, this is a much darker story that incorporates a land where stories become real.
SpoilerBut, in the end, was it all a psychically formed limbo while the main character was in a coma? Did his subconscious create a game that was a parallel to his real-world fight to stay alive or do the marks on his arms after he wakes up reveal his true encounters in the magical realm?
