Good read!

I finished this book a couple of weeks ago and I have to say it was pretty darn good. I have never read anything of John Connolly's before so this was quite an introduction. The Book of Lost Things is wildly imaginative, funny, touching and pretty dark too. When the book begins the scene is of a very real time and place with normal occurances and a normal little boy, David, trying to make his way through, but as life begins to change so does the world around him and he is suddenly plunged into a land where humans are mixed with beasts and everything is turned upside down and he must find his way out. Connolly's approach on the ordeal of growing up and losing our innocence is really brilliant. This was a great read and I am looking forward to picking up something else by this author.
