A review by bexlrose
The Invention of Morel by Adolfo Bioy Casares

3.0

An interesting premise, well explored and not without its merits, but for my tastes it was a little too much of a fantasy adventure story. Which is sad as that's exactly what Jorge Luis Borges is lamenting in the introduction: that people don't like adventure stories anymore. In his introduction, Borges calls it a perfect book and I really enjoyed the introduction, more than I've actually enjoyed books I've read by Borges so I was throroughly willing to like this particular adventure story. However, I'm sure that fans of Jules Verne and the likes would love it. 3 stars.
