What gives THE BOOK OF LOST THINGS such a chilling edge is the way the real and illusory worlds sit so comfortably together. - Daily ExpressBrilliantly creepy coming of age novel - Daily MirrorA powerful, powerful writer. I got a very real chill down my spine. This is an amazing book. - Jeffery DeaverThe book's epic villainy, mournful tone and tested morality is the essence of Connolly . . . THE BOOK OF LOST THINGS is peculiar and perverse and humane, with an incredibly lyrical finale. - Irish TimesCharming, disturbing and outrageously imaginative. A tremendously exciting change of pace.Tension, terror and gallows humour make the book a gripping read. - Daily MailConnolly imagines the emotional cave-in of puberty intelligently, even perceptively - GuardianThis is no saccharine fairytale, but an eerie fable that's perfect for long winter nights - Daily Mail
