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

1.0

I wanted to like this book. I have been excited about reading this book for years, based solely on the cover and its general format. I really liked it for the first 100 pages or so, and I was excited to see where it was going. And then it just took a turn for the horrendous and never looked back. Plot points were introduced that were never resolved. There was an entire story within the story that literally added nothing to the main story. I continued slogging through, hoping beyond hope that somehow in the last 100 pages or so, things would begin to make sense, that there would be some point to all the words I had read before, but alas, no. I had to hold myself back from throwing this book across the room once I finished it. It was pretty much on a level with the LOST series finale as far as endings go. I long for a time machine so I could go back in time and unread this book.
