Ich finde das Kartengeheimnis hat eine sehr schöne Welt rund um ein Kartenspiel aufgebaut und das ist für mich gerade im Sommer sehr ansprechend, weil ich da sehr viel mit meinen Eltern Karten spiele.

Spoiler

Er hat aus jeder Karte einen Charakter erschaffen und darum eine Geschichte gesponnen.

Das fand ich sehr kreativ. An manchen Stellen war mir die Geschichte aber schon fast zu phantastisch und absurd, da hätte ich mir am Ende doch ein bisschen mehr Realität gewünscht. Besonders die Darstellung der Mutter finde ich nicht mehr sehr zeitgemäß.

As with 'Sophie's World' this novel manages to be an enlightening walk through the mysteries of philosophy and it's many aspects without ever becoming a diatribe. Gaarder makes the debates between the father and son interesting and engaging while maintaining narrative drive and engaging the reader in their quest to find the boy's missing mother. Far from making the novel unbelievable, the fantasmagorical aspects only further the philisophical points being made and the fact that the world we live in and our exsistence in it is an amazing thing. This book reminds me of what I loved about 'Sophie's World' while staying an incredible novel in it's own right.

the writing style was quite dull and dry, and the author spent a LOT of time developing meaningless things. By the end, I didn't care about any of the characters, nor what happened in the end.

This took me far longer to read than it should have. I blame COVID-19 for the fact that I couldn’t focus on it. I read Sophie’s World years ago & this had a similar feel.
