A review by j_olip
The Castle in the Pyrenees by Jostein Gaarder

2.0

This book isn't so much a story, so much as a philosophical exploration of the belief of two ex-lovers, one who believes strongly in spirituality, consciousness and the afterlife and the other an atheist who strictly believes in science. Definitely not what I was expecting, I was expecting a mystery story about what had happened to the two characters that was so drastic is caused them to separate thirty years previous. The book is written as email correspondences, and once you get based the first 150 pages, you finally do get a detailed account of what happened that day. It's not a bad book, it just wasn't what I was expecting. On that note, the last ten pages definitely left an impact on the reader.
