Reviews
"This is a must-read for literary puzzle fans, even for those unfamiliar with Abrams's TV and film work." -- Publishers Weekly (starred), "The S. experience is like reading a novel while eavesdropping on a conversation...As if Franz Kafka had written an episode of "Lost."" --CNN.com, "Equal parts romance, historical mystery and conceptual art . . . S. should be regarded as an elaborate love poem to the printed word and a eulogy to its rapid disappearance in the digital world." -- Denver Post, "Reading S. is fun, and the book feels alive . . . Gloriously embroidered with marginalia and jammed with artifacts inserted between its pages . . . A celebration of the book as a physical thing." -- Chicago Tribune, " S. is gorgeous, a masterpiece of verisimilitude. . . . The book's spiritual cousin is A.S. Byatt's Possession . . . . The brilliance of S. is less in its showy exterior than the intimate and ingeniously visual way it shows how others' words become pathways to our lives and relationships." -- Washington Post, "An intriguing and impressive experiment in storytelling that's full of paranoia, conspiracy theory, love and mystery." --- USA Today, "Impressively smart, engaging . . . Filled with secrets and stories that are endlessly beguiling and inviting . . . Reading S., and trying to decode everything [was] an incredibly enjoyable, fun experience, as well as a particularly immersive one. . . . For all its mysteries and intrigues, this is a book about the value of books, and what they can offer us that other storytelling mediums cannot." -- Wired, "Both as literature and as a physical object, S. is a profound and tremendous work of art. . . . Brilliantly conceived and perfectly executed, the book harkens back to a golden age of storytelling. . . . An audacious literary achievement that calls to mind Vladimir Nabokov's Pale Fire, Chris Ware's Building Stories and even Charles Portis' Masters of Atlantis. " -- Miami Herald, " S. comes alive, resonating incredibly . . . I found S. impossible to forget. . . . The kind of book that reminds one what books, at best, can be. You really must read it. And please: believe." --Tor.com, "The best-looking book I've ever seen. . . . The book is so perfectly realized that it's easy to fall under its spell. . . . If you want to write a romantic mystery meta-novel in which two bibliophiles investigate the conspiracy around an enigmatic Eastern European author, you couldn't choose a better team." --Joshua Rothan, New Yorker

The chronicle of two readers finding each other, and their deadly struggle with forces beyond their understanding--all within the margins of a book conceived by Star Wars: The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams and written by award-winning novelist Doug Dorst. The book: Ship of Theseus, the final novel by a prolific but enigmatic writer named V.M.

The writer: Straka, the incendiary and secretive subject of one of the world's greatest mysteries, a revolutionary about whom the world knows nothing apart from the words he wrote and the rumors that swirl around him. The readers: Jennifer and Eric, a college senior and a disgraced grad student, both facing crucial decisions about who they are, who they might become, and how much they're willing to trust another person with their passions, hurts, and fears.

- t***z (247)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseArrived super fast from CA. (Came partly by plane from Utah to Chicago.) Rich cordovan color matched photo (a color no longer available from Doc Martens). Seller said “pre-owned,” but these were like new! Nice added touch, seller had the sandals hermetically sealed in “krinkle” wrap/cellophane…very pleasing. Uplifting experience all around.
