    Caitlin This book is a story about a self-conscious concierge and an introspective, suicidal 12 year old.

    I understand what this book was trying to be... beautiful and sophisticated. Something that read like a song and instilled deep, meaningful reactions from the reader - but it wasn't. It was BORING.

    The whole book just reeked of academic snobbery. Parts of the book prattled on so much that I'd just speed read the whole chapter. I got so bored with it I stopped half way through so I could take a break on another book before finishing this off.

    I felt the book used knowledge of Tolstoy as a scale of determining someone's value. Yes, parts of the book were lovely. I liked a few of the ideas it brought forward, and I liked the sence of magic. Yes, there were some sentences worthy of placing on a poster. However mostly, I just wanted to finish it. by Caitlin
