The Castle in the Pyrenees by Jostein Gaarder

3.0

This book is more interesting than beautiful. I've always said that throughout reading it and I keep saying it now. Josten Gaarder's style didn't impress me in Sophie's World, and it didn't impress me now. But his story - oh well. The whole book is made of an exchange of emails between two lovers who have found themselves again 30 years after a mysterious event had made them break up. It's mostly a contradictory discussion on two views: one, religious, in life after death, and the other, realistic and scientific. It's quite smart and the ending is good.
