“but lost chances are as much a part of life as chances taken, and a story cannot dwell on what might have been.”
this was an interesting take on the traditional detective novel, loved the links between the books (especially in the last one) and the fact that paul auster himself is a character. however, it got so tiring reading three whole books about people throwing away their lives. it made me very frustrated, even thinking about it now is too much… and for that reason my rating is probably lower than it should be.
