Endymion Spring by Matthew Skelton

4.0

I quite enjoyed reading Endymion Spring. It follows two storylines: one in the past in Mainz, Germany and the other in the present in St. Jerome’s College, Oxford. The past storyline reveals that Endymion Spring is a young apprentice to Johann Gutenberg. The present storyline reveals that Endymion Spring is “the most legendary, sought-after books in the world and could be incredibly dangerous if it falls into the wrong hands.”

Why is the book so dangerous? What secrets does it hold? Why did it choose to reveal its secrets to a young boy? What is the Last Book? If you were intrigued by the preceding questions, then you will enjoy this book.

I found the author’s acknowledgement section quite interesting. Among the given references, he mentions that the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is developing an actual “Last Book.” I was intrigued. What is an actual “Last Book?” Check out the following link to learn more: http://www.nytimes.com/library/arts/040898book.html#1
