Paradox Bound by Peter Clines |Review|

Good morning everyone,

Today I give you a review of a very special book, kindly sent by Crown Publishing. The book in question is Peter Clines’s Paradox Bound.

This, I can say, is a bizarre book, with a complex yet well-talked history where the typical “American Dream” and the travels over history meet.

The protagonist meets Harry three times, the first time at eight and a half years, after a bike ride, on the way back home. The second time at 13, the same time he discovers that Harry is a woman. And then she meets her again at 29, coming back from work, on her Mustang model A.

But after this last encounter his life changes radically. From now on, faceless men try to get information about Harry, and he, to alert her, goes to her research, but after finding her he can not go back. He is forced to get in the car with her, and take part in her strange treasure hunt.

Though Harry doesn’t want him to go with her,s he can’t abandon him to the faceless man, so she decides that Eli would become her new partner, not having one and, after presenting other searchers to the boy, tells him what the hunting is about.

The story is broken down by generations and generations of hunters, so it’s not totally accurate, but the quest of their hunt is the “American dream”, a desire guaranteed to men by an Egyptian God. Not everyone is aware of it, and whoever is, searches it everywhere, even traveling through history, back and forth in time.

For Eli are too many information, but he decides to take part in the research. He is now in it and cannot go back until the search is over.

They travel long and wide, discovering many things, always fleeing from faceless man, until they believe that the search is almost over, they get caught, with no way out.

Initially, I found the chapters in which there were only faceless man slightly boring because I constantly wanted to read about the two characters, but when I realized that they had a greater purpose in the book, I loved the author for adding them .

I didn’t expect that I would have liked it so much, and having not started with such high expectations, I totally adored and devoured it.

I leave you with this reading that you have to add to your TBR, and I hope you do. It’s something totally different from my usual readings, and it’s absolutely thrilling.

To the next time,

Miriam.

Penso che recensire un libro sia una cosa molto importante che richiede tempo e dedizione. A volte un lettore prima di scegliere un libro vuole sapere che quello che sta scegliendo è quello giusto, e le recensioni servono proprio per questo, per aiutare il lettore a scegliere. Ma questo è anche un modo per aiutare autore e case editrici a farsi conoscere. È anche per questo che pubblico gli articoli sia in italiano che in inglese, per non lasciare nessuno fuori. Vi chiedo di non esitare a pormi qualsiasi domanda sul mondo dell'editoria, spero solo di riuscire a fornire la risposta perfetta.
