Über diesen Titel

Brought to you by Penguin.

Taryn Cornick believes her sister, Bea, was deliberately run down and killed. She believes it so hard she allows a man called the Muleskinner to exact the justice Bea was denied. An eye for an eye.

Which is when Taryn's problems really begin.

Because the police suspect Taryn's involvement in the death.

Worse, others have their eyes on Taryn - those in a faraway place who know what Taryn's family have been carefully hiding in their vast library. The Absolute Book.

They want it - and they want Taryn to help find it.

For the lives of those in more than one world depend upon it....

Kritikerstimmen

"Mind-blowing." (laini Taylor)

"Astounding." (Francis Spufford)

"Intricately plotted and gorgeously written, The Absolute Book has something for everyone: the search for a mysterious book, talking ravens, police detectives and academics, gods and demons, a giant saltwater crocodile, the bucolic English countryside and magical gates to hidden worlds. Here is a cinematic tale that is by turns dark and dreamlike, yet ultimately hopeful." (Deborah Harkness, author of A Discovery of Witches)

The plot was promising at the start but sadly after Taryn entered the fairy realm it became serpentine and often downright boring. I really didn't need to explore her trips to the toilet or her ablutions per se. I started the novel twice, made it to 25% the second time, and then capitulated. There are too many great reads out there to warrant my wasting my time on this example of the species.

Rambling, flat characters.
