review 1: Much like when I read "Where'd You Go, Bernadette?", I felt like I finished a different book from the one I started here. The four stars are more with the first 2/3 to 3/4 in mind, which was utterly charming and sweet. Things took an odd turn in Chicago, then grew increasingly surreal, and then ultimately the book ended so quickly I wondered if the author remembered an important appointment he needed to get to. I went back over everything, wondering if I'd read the earlier portion from the wrong perspective.
review 2: Recommended by Catie P. , Adult ServicesCatie's Review:The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet is a coming of age story about a little boy who maps everything he comes across. The book follows Spivet's cross-country journey to accept an award from t
... morehe Smithsonian, who is unaware the the recipient of the award is a 12-year-old boy. The maps that Spivet creates are interspersed throughout the story and seem to be just as important to the story as the text which makes for a unique reading experience. less
