POSSIBLE SPOILERS SO READ ON AT YOUR OWN PERIL
This was a very clever and (mostly) enjoyable book to listen to. It is one of these meta book within a book type things and my head felt messed with over what was real (ie. made up by the author) and what was made up (ie. made up by the characters who have been make up by the original author). I don’t really like this because it feels to me like it breaks the ‘fourth wall’ or breaks a contract or breaks something – I feel like I want to be invested in a story so much that is feels as real to me as it does to the characters while I’m reading, and then to find out that some of it was ‘made-up’ within the world of the book kind of belittles this for me and I feel like, what’s the point of investing myself in these made-up characters – I know this is irrational since they’re all made-up, but still it upsets me!
Anyway, that aside, the plot and mystery and characters and stuff was good, and the narrators were good, so mixed feelings from me over this one.
