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

3.0

The whole book is an email chain of philosophical discussion about the world and universe, life and death, belief and rational thought, and what happened thirty years ago to the two then-lovers. I felt that the story never quite lifted up beyond the philosophy, and while the philosophy was interesting, it wasn't enough. The landscape was very much a part of this story and I did find that fascinating.
