Mmmm not really clicking with The Keeper of Lost Things

Stick with it oldbatty. I have just finished it with my book club. I too wasn't sure at first, but it is a book of many layers and with lots of overlapping stories.

I loved it. Would make a good film.

I'd say keep going - it livens up quite interestingly!

Yes, another one saying stick with it

I read it last year and would also say - stick with it, it's lovely.

I'm with you oldbatty I felt it was contrived. I did finish it and wondered about the cleanliness of some of the lost things.

I started it a few months ago but it didn't immediately reel me in so I put it down.

I shall start again when I have finished my present book, given it gets better. Thanks.

ha ha blossom, thats funny.

Oh do keep at it! I felt the same, as it does seem a bit off the wall to begin with. But it turned into a wonderful read, so very clever how everything kind of tied up. Like a fairy tale for grown-ups

Oh I agree it was a slow start but it is a really lovely book I was sorry when I finished it. Yes it would make a good film.

Agree bit slow at start but I really enjoyed it.

Give it time.

Well worth persevering. Agree with Bathsheba, a beautiful grown up fairy story.

Loved it, as someone who calls on St Anthony frequently and with huge success, it was about time he was recognised in literature!

I loved it!

I didn't enjoy it oldbatty, I too thought it was contrived. Would not go and see a film if they made one.

I agree with you oldbatty. I didn’t really get it, so to speak, yet several of my friends raved about it. I wouldn’t bother to go and see it as a film if one was made.

I really enjoyed it, a gentle story, a lovely book.

I really didn’t enjoy this book and I ended up DNFing it in the end. I rarely do this. It just because such a cliche to me. I acknowledge many love this book but it really wasn’t my cup of tea.
