“The Book of Lost Books is itself a find, or the first guide to literature’s what-ifs and never-weres. It covers on the works of notable authors that have been lost, destroyed, or never completed over the course of history. The author also provides an interesting overview of how often things go badly wrong for an author and or his works. Thus, Cathy Kelly illustrated the lives of two interesting women, Dee has a problem with her image she feels fat and unattractive, while Isabel marriage has just ended and finding it hard going with a useless soon to be ex husband. I like this book it’s a good read, I have high expectations for it… reading this book reminds us again of the value of history / literature…”
