17. That made me laugh

The Library at the Edge of the World sounds a lot like an Irish version of The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek. Both are told with heart and charm, about the meaning of home and the importance of finding a place where you truly belong. Whereas the “antidote “ for all this wholesomeness is provided by a story about evil drug dealers who turn to dealing in body parts. Yep, I believe that would do it.

I quite enjoy how Horowitz writes himself into his books. The first time was a delightful surprise for me, although not everyone agrees. It’s like any art form; people prefer different styles. I am starting to wonder a bit about the current book I’m reading. He has taken one story and then totally changed it into another and I’m having a hard time imagining how it will all come together in the end. I expect I am in for a pleasant surprise.
