I couldn't stop reading and I loved the references to both children and adult novels. The child, Ian was wonderful. I loved his quirks and reading habit and his determination to leave his parents' craziness. I'm not sure about the ending. It's a Wizard of Oz ending? Not sure about that. But I cared about both Ian and Lucy. And I couldn't stop reading. Why is that? What about the book was so compelling? I haven't figured it out, but it was.

This one had me, lost me, then had me again. Book lovers will find a lot to relate to, realists and anti-neurotics won't.

The premise of this book is pretty off the wall and I have a hard time relating to drifting, twenty something characters, but I found the writing style and literary allusions in this book delightful. Also, can't fault a book arguing that reading can change lives.

I was never terribly impressed with this book and it stretched my bands of reality.
