not really know where to begin We talk about the plot? Well Laura is a very insecure girl, works in a library is to close its doors and, apparently, is very good to organize literary events, although its role, at least one of the meetings that we see, is to fill the of these glasses and serve them slices of cake!
A literary meeting the latter Eleanor knows, literary agent who will immediately notice something special in Laura and begins to question her asking his opinion on some novels.
The "brilliant" Laura then responds with two or three words in each book or author, claiming or promoting here and there as appropriate with a confidence that just suits her.
After this discussion, "depth" Eleanora Laura decides to entrust the organization of a literary festival.
His main task will be to convince a famous author, Dermot Flynn, to take part.
Now I stop and I say that from this moment on I read a novel almost comic Dermot is defined by all " the greatest living Irish writer " although to his credit only two novels written at the age of nineteen and twenty years older than fifteen years ago!
Even a band famous (at least in the novel), the Ironstone, decided to attend the event will be present only if Dermot Flynn!
Now Laura is sacrificed and goes in search of his favorite author (among other coincidences of the case).
Needless to reveal more of the plot, suffice it to say that the character of Laura is equal to zero and that Mr Dermot (even compared to Mr. Darcy, eresiaaa!) a peasant is often immeasurable and yet no reason. The
more than low self-esteem of Laura me nervous as the arrogance and rudeness of him that eventually turns into the most romantic heroes of romance.
Not to mention the ease with which unbreakable friendships are born in this story (see the one between Laura and Monica that within a few hours become the best friends of each other) and what about the absolute rigidity of her parents , hateful! Only the mother, in the end, you save a bit ', but it is a very sad figure.
Laura then, what else to say about her? In a few months became the festival's organizer, editor (after a long and Intensive course of two days!) and a collaborator in the writing course where also reveals a strong capability in writing, in short, a phenomenon of a woman, meanwhile, continues to think of being worth little more than a snail throughout the course of novel.
cards I've heard much praise for Fforde, and this is his first book I read, I am sure this has been an unfortunate case in which he read to another so that I could change his mind, but unfortunately this book was a bit 'disappointing.
The only positive note is the fact that he spoke much of the publishing world.
