Forrige gang jeg leste denne boka, var jeg vel rundt 10-11 år. Husker ikke om jeg leste den før eller etter Twilight. Men da, som nå, foretrakk jeg historien om Hans-Christian framfor bollebokas historie.
Det som overrasket meg mer mens jeg leste denne boka, er hvor sentral alkoholismen til faren til Hans-Christian er. Den er veldig frampå til å være en barnebok, og det er veldig interessant.
Men ja, jeg synes bollebokas plott kunne gått like fort som HC sitt. Og oppsummeringa av hva som så langt hadde skjedd i bolleboka hver gang HC skulle lese litt i den, gikk meg på nervene i og med at jeg gjerne leste flere kapitler i et sett.

Such a well composed story with remarkable many details. I love how Gaarder is so fascinated by this amazing world we have the fortune to live in, and the many questions that surrounds this miracle. But I've forgotten how many predictions it contained, and since I don't want to engage in that sort of thing anymore I had to lower the star rating from five to four. A great book, I only wished it gave more creed to the Creator instead of the curious ways of the created. If there's a questions, there's an answer and it's not a secret well hidden.

Interesting story. It was cool to see all the pieces come together.
The book was very philosophical. It made me stop and think at times. Not many books are built to make the reader do that.
Anyway, altogether an interesting story with a good ending.

I suggested a "translation theme" to my small group of GR friends for this weekend (which later turned into mystery translation), and this was the book that came to my mind. It was short to read over the weekend, a translation, and has been out under mystery category by GR members. To be honest, I thought it to be a murder mystery with a 12 year old protagonist. But once I started reading I found that I was very wrong. Once I finished reading this book, I told myself not every mystery is about murder, theft or abduction.
This is a road trip that Hans with his father from Norway to Greece in search of his mother who left them when he was 4 year old to find herself. During this trip Hans not only discovered about his family curse but also come to know about his grandfather and a secret island of Dwarves. This book is a beautiful tale of story within story and concentrate on father-son relationship.
This was surprisingly good. Will definitely going to reread it sometime.

"My advice to all those who are going to find themselves is: Stat exactly where you are. Otherwise you are in great danger of losing yourself forever."
"We are mysterious small people who suddenly jump out from bridges in Venice."
"In a way [the people] were more alive than they were conscious."
"How does one manage to 'Climb out of the prison of consciousness'?
What kind of ladder does one use to do that?"
"There is always something lying and brewing in anticipation of taking our place. Because we're not standing on solid ground, we're not even standing on sand -- we *are* sand."
