A review by sharimeyer
The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet by Reif Larsen

2.0

I read almost half of this book before concluding I wouldn't be able to finish it. My heart hurts for T.S. and his loneliness, but the geography of the west, the trains, and the lack of connection I felt to his unconventional family made me feel pretty bored with the book overall. I really got mired in the first part, but the addition of the biography of TS' great grandmother in part 2 was the last straw. I will skim part 3 to see how it ends but otherwise will call myself finished with this book.
