A science nerd that likes to read. I do prefer sci-fi/fantasy, but double in almost any other genre. Will fight over Eragon to my last breath

John Boyne: Traveller At The Gates Of Wisdom (Hardcover) 4 stars

Review of 'Traveller At The Gates Of Wisdom' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

First of all, let me say this: this book is one of the most intense and deep exploration of the human condition, and what it means to be human in general. It does not shy away from triumphs and fails, and I think it generally succeed in being almost universal.

I would have easily given 5+ stars if not for the ending. It was in poor taste, and honestly just badly written. To Me, it feels like the author himself missed the whole theme of the book he himself wrote.

It's sad, but that means I cannot in pure heart give it the 5 stars I want to give so badly.

Maybe next time, John.
