Publisher Description

WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION

Theo Decker, aged thirteen, is left alone in the world after surviving a catastrophe that kills his only close relative - his mother - and tears him away from everything he knows. Tormented by grief, drifting from home to home, he grows increasingly obsessed with a small, enchanting work of art which dominates his imagination and ultimately draws him, as an adult, into a much darker life than he could ever have foreseen.

allnamestacken ,

good.

it was super long and got a bit uninteresting at the end with the way it was written. it was a good ending and definitely recommend just keep reading cause the plot was excellent. it’s obviously not for everyone but it’s one of my favourite books

Poor reader ,

Bored to death

Every time I fall for buying an award winning book I'm left swearing never to do it again. This book is no exception. I found it long winded and difficult to like any of the characters from the start. So many words but no clear descriptions of what happens or happened. I skimmed most of the end of the book as I was so sick of it and just wanted it to end...it didn't.

Haunting and beautiful

This emotional roller coaster draws you in with rich descriptions and a compelling plot. At times it can drag as the descriptions can carry on for a bit, but once picked up this story can't be put down. Intense, dark and deeply philosophical, you might want to have something lighthearted lined up to read afterward.
