De wonderbaarlijke reis van de fakir die vastzat in een IKEA-kast by Lidewij van den Berg, Katrien Vandenberghe, Romain Puértolas
2.0
As fun and exciting as the book looks when you first pick it up, as flat and non-existent is it's storyline. Filled with anything but logic and tons of racist stereotypes, this book fell flat. Took me ages to finish as I mainly used it to "fill gaps in between reading other books". And well, once you start reading it you kind of want to know if there is an actual story. Spoiler alert: there isn't. Felt like a draft by a first time novelist. Will be reading Puértolas' other book though, since I want to find out if he evolved as a writer.

I liked this little in between read of a book. It flowed easily and the story was very enjoyable with enough tension and little twists to keep you focused. In the end I was actually thinking about things that could still happen... so maybe the book ended a bit too soon. Oh how delightful it would have been if the photo turned out to be photoshopped by someone from Luca's past... drama :) but who knows... sequel material?

Apart from the content of the book (everyone has their opinion and I don't feel the need to defend either side, please consider this as neutral as possible) this book was actually a great read. Fluently written, and never boring.
