review 1: 3/5Esta novela me produce sentimientos encontrados, tanto que no tengo ni idea de si la historia me ha gustado o de si he entendido bien el mensaje que pretendía transmitir el autor. Estamos ante una obra deliciosamente narrada, original, apasionada, delirante y por momentos, desgarradora. Sobre las páginas de la novela flotan multitud de ideas bastantes buenas por separado pero que no llegan a cuajar de manera conjunta. Es brillante. O espantosa. O algo así.
review 2: The book is told from the point of view of 10-year-old Arthur Williams, who finds a journal in the woods and begins an investigation of the neighbourhood in an attempt to find out who its author (Phil) was, what happened to him, and how the book came to be in the woods. Along the way, he strug... moregles with his relationship with his (adopted) dad Simon; Simon's budding love interest, Maureen; and the interests of his friend Victoria, who wants him to be her boyfriend.The book is well-written from the POV of a 10-year-old boy. Arthur makes a lot of lists, mis-spells certain words, and is always "shaving" his milk mustache. It's a fast read, especially since you get curious from the start about Phil and what exactly is written on page 43 of his journal. less
