Acton reviewed The solitaire mystery by Jostein Gaarder
Review of 'The Solitaire Mystery: A Novel About Family and Destiny' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I may never look at a deck of cards the same way again. The Solitaire Mystery is another imaginative, clever, and thought-provoking philosophical tale by Jostein Gaarder. This time, the protagonist is a 12-year-old boy named Hans Thomas, a bright boy who is quickly exiting childhood and trying to make sense of the world around him.
This story does not have too much in common with Sophie's World--it's much more like a fairy tale. I did not expect this, and yet--I enjoyed it very much, and thought it worked very well, in its own way. Eventually, I'd like to read more of Gaarder's novels.
Excuse me, may I have your Joker?
Good read!
