A review by mmajer
S. by Doug Dorst, J.J. Abrams

2.0

The concept of this book is wildly creative. It’s absolutely stunning to look at- like an old, worn library book. It was fun to follow along with the mystery, including fun little inserts... until it wasn’t. I don’t mind working a little for the reading experience, but this became downright tedious and quite a feat to finish (it took me years)! After a while I found it difficult to follow along with the story and margin notes, so I kept putting it down. I do think it’s special and I’ve never encountered a book quite like this before, but I just didn’t get along with it as well as others might.
