The End of Mr Y written by Scarlett Thomas.
First I would like to start with how I actually got the book. at first I looked at thebook from it's cover (I think the uk edition) and found that the cover was really nice, and the papers are black from their sides. I found that really amazing.
And when I erad the jacket, with all the reviews. I found it fascinating.
the story is about Ariel Manto who finds a rare book written by a victorian sceintest Thomas E. Lumas. the book is called "the End of mr Y", Ariel heard a lot about this book, and she knows it's the only copy, and it's cursed. who ever read it die.
she of course reads it. and there the story begins.
I actually liked the concept of the book, the story and the idea.
the characters were very well written and easy to relate.
now there were a lot of complictions and some sort of difficult terms. the book also deals with physics (I'm the last one to be asked anything about physics), also has some logical terms I couldn't put my fingers on.
some other things related theology, which are as complicated as physics.
because the book is fictional, could say science fiction or fantasy, it's hard to get into the fantasy that Scarlett Thomas has created.
but who ever loves fantasy would love this book. because it's genious. and enjoyable.
I loved it .
would give it 4.5/5 or more.
