Wish I could have read this in his native language. Think it may have lost a little something in translation but still captures the quirky attitudes of the characters and does a superb job at describing the scenery.

Another one I caught today. Never heard of the writer, which is one of the main things I love about bookcrossing, I keep finding books I never heard of.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

Left it where I found my first book crossing book. Hope someone finds and enjoys it.

A very good read, with beautiful descriptions of the surroundings. I lost the plot a bit in the end, but that didn't bother me.

Took it with me from Lux today.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

On its way to the bookcrosser who requested this book from the first sentences virtual bookbox.

My choice from the First Sentences VBB has arrived and it sure looks promising! It's an English translation of a novel originally published in Norwegian, and the postcard which accompanied it, though a print of a Japanese work of art, reminded my of one of my favourite illustrators - Kay Nielsen's work - who was also a Norwegian! This book seems to have won many awards, so I think I've made a good choice! Thanks Marsala, for promptly sending it to me and for the lovely postcard!

ETA: (June, 2011) I've read the book, and I think it may have lost a bit in translation. It was a little slow for me, not exactly my kind of book, but I can see how it may suit other tastes.

Sent this off to my birthday buddy, whose wishlist it was on. I hope you enjoy the book, and the other contents of the parcel!

I received this wishlist book in a lovely birthday rabck from by birthday buddy. The package was amazing, there were: release supplies, bookmarks, leaflets, a pretty funky bracelet, soap and a cool bag, as well as a card. Thank you so much for this rabck prachitulshan, it was amazing!!!
