To be very honest,
I would have given this book two stars, because I didn't like it at all. The story was incoherent. I struggled with following the story without getting distracted.
I kept reading, I don't really know why but I most defintely DON'T regret it.
The last quarter or so is an explanation with makes you understand a lot of what this book is really about. It has been written to relate for any kind of ages. Children could easily understand the story and it would be a great activity to read with your child/sibling/cousin or so.
I didnt read any of Boyne's work but I am very curious to read more of him especially another genre of a more adult reading.
3 out if 5 stars!

A beautiful version of a fairy tale with a twist. The writing and illustrations are beautiful as the tale deals with topics such a childhood, ageing and grief from the perspectives of an elderly man and a young boy. A book for adults and children to enjoy.

Heel mooi boek. Een klein beetje treurig op het einde, maar voor de rest wel vrolijk :). Snel uit te lezen.
O MY I loved every word in this book. every moment was a surprise and I read it within 2 days. I cried and laughed at the story and it made me hope for adventure again! At first, I thought Noah had a bad family but then I slowly realized the sadness that he carried and released a great sigh of relief when he came back home not realizing that I had been holding it. I do recommend it for anyone looking for a small adventure without leaving the comfort of their home.
Zwei Sterne, aber das heißt nicht, dass ein schlechtes Buch war, ich glaub es war einfach kein Buch für mich. Objektiv für ich es besser bewerten, aber darum geht es hier ja nicht.
Mir hat einfach was gefehlt. Bis zum Endteil habe ich auf eine große Enthüllung gewartet oder eine zweite Ebene, die dieser sehr kindlichen Geschichte mehr Tiefe verleiht. In gewisser Weise kam dann auch so was, aber das hat mich irgendwie nicht befriedigt. Außerdem habe ich erst am Ende gecheckt, dass es sich hierbei um eine Art Neuerzählung von Pinocchio handelt o.O Ob das Absicht war? Oder hab ich einfach zu oft auf Durchzug geschaltet?
