À propos de cet audio

 High in his attic bedroom, 12-year-old David mourns the loss of his mother. He is angry and he is alone, with only the books on his shelf for company.But those books have begun to whisper to him in the darkness, and as he takes refuge in the myths and fairytales so beloved of his dead mother, he finds that the real world and the fantasy world have begun to meld. The Crooked Man has come, with his mocking smile and his enigmatic words: "Welcome, your majesty. All hail the new king."

With echoes of Gregory Maguire's and C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia, author John Connolly introduces us to a cast of not-quite-familiar characters - like the seven socialist dwarfs who poison an uninvited (and unpleasant) princess and try to peg the crime on her stepmother. Or the Loups, the evil human-canine hybrids spawned long ago by the union of a wolf and a seductive girl in a red cloak.

As war rages across Europe, David is violently propelled into a land that is both a construct of his imagination, yet frighteningly real - a strange reflection of his own world composed of myths and stories, populated by wolves and worse-than-wolves, and ruled over by a faded king who keeps his secrets in a legendary book...The Book of Lost Things.

This book is creepy but not too much to scare you away. It is slow to start but boy does it ever pick up!! I listened to this book months ago and I'm still quoting things I heard. The protagonist and antagonist are perfect. READ THIS BOOK.

Very intriguing premise, sincerely didn't know what to expect through much of it. if you're in the mood for something different, this might be it.

I’m amazed at how much I loved this book, I passed over it several times but read the last review and the writer said (read this book) this is usually not my style of reading,usually crime or court room drama,but this tale took me on an adventure which was so entertaining and exciting I would recommend it to anyone

A book I liked

This is a great story that pulls from a lot of different sources. I recommend it for tween readers or adults who are still connected to their childhood.
