Synopsis
Several months into his recovery from a near-fatal illness, thirty-four-year-old novelist Sidney Orr enters a stationery shop in the Cobble Hill section of Brooklyn and buys a blue notebook. It is September 18, 1982, and for the next nine days Orr will live under the spell of this blank book, trapped inside a world of eerie premonitions and bewildering events that threaten to destroy his marriage and undermine his faith in reality...

This is my third book by Paul Auster, and maybe the one I preferred until now. The first half of the book is good, but the second half becomes really excellent. I like the way Paul Auster pictures a relationship, how you can feel totally lost although you know you love your partner, how you sometimes just have to trust and respect the person you love, without wanting to receive any explanation.

I offered the book in the "Good Fairy" reverse wish list relay to fulfill one of JenLuvsBooks's wishes.

There were many stories within the story. The long footnotes annoyed me a bit but did provide good backstory. The ending was exciting but a bit predictable. Overall there were some good messages here. I wish I understood the significance of Mr. Chang and the blue notebook.
