Luckily, this is not a book that ends when you read the last word on the last page, because it sticks with you and refuses to let you go. Nothing quite compares to getting to the end of a book and feeling compelled to read the “Acknowledgements” section and even the information about the typeface (Sabon, if anyone was wondering) just so the book isn’t over, not quite yet. There are few things more exhilarating (to me, at least) than tearing through a book because it’s just that good. John Mandel’s new novel, demanded that I read it all in one day. ![]()
