The Door to Lost Pages

Written by Claude Lalumiere

Average Score: 66(3)

Step through the door to Lost Pages and escape a life you never wanted. On her tenth birthday, Aydee runs away from home and from her neglectful parents. At first, surviving alone on the streets is harsh, but a series of frightening, bewildering encounters with strange primordial creatures leads her to a bookshop called Lost Pages, where she steps into a fantastic, sometimes dangerous, but exciting life. Aydee grows up at the reality-hopping Lost Pages, which seems to attract a clientele that is either eccentric - or desperate. She is repeatedly drawn into an eternal war between enigmatic gods and monsters, until the day she is confronted by her worst nightmare: herself.

Review Rating: 80
Lalumière's talents are on full display in this cerebral, erotic, and hypnotically compelling tale of bibliophilic wonder.

It is at best a limited success, but a most worthwhile effort.

Review Rating: 60
Between shifting genres, changes in tone, and a mysteriously elusive but seemingly coherent fantastical background, the book defies not only easy categorization but also any sort of top-down attempt at interpretation.
