'Opening a book had always been like opening a window into a new & mysterious world...When I was a child my books were my best friends...I saw that words could illustrate more than a drawing...Books had been the most lasting profound relationship in my life' pages 127-8
The quotes above say it all. A tantric, magical, whole other world, accessed by a book of magic & spells.

A very interesting concept; who doesn’t love books about books? The idea was interesting and I did want to know what happened but the execution wasn’t too great and I found it very dark and disjointed at times.
There were aspects I would have liked to have seen developed more and things I didn’t see coming because they were out of character etc.
Interesting read, not sure if I would re read it though.
