I can't exactly explain why I was so taken away by this book, it may have been the poetic prose that seamlessly carries you through the narrative, or just an incredibly empathetic protagonist. Either way, for a 68 page novella I was sucked in and only disappointed by how short the story was. Definitely worth a read, can get through in less than two hours.

I really loved this little book! So often I find that I don't read small books like this because they read as half-hearted. This story begins like a little adventure, where the father is a bold figure to his son because he is always in the process of writing a book about caves, but once the father is hospitalized and falling apart, his son begins telling the father stories about what has happened to the book. The story builds to the point where I'm reading too fast to see what happens next! Excellent!

A short, punchy story with a narrator that seems to be equal parts Edward Bloom (Big Fish) and Scheherazade (One Thousand and One Nights). This is a great read for procrastinators, bibliophiles or anyone who appreciates a good yarn.
