Cloud Cuckoo Land

I was initially apprehensive about reading this considering that the top liked review was a one star, but it seemed to keep calling out to me.

Needless to say, I loved it. It was beautiful.

A story about a story that lasts lifetimes and all the people it touched. How it effected their lives, and how their lives, in turn, helped it (and each other) endure.

“What's so beautiful about a fool is that a fool never knows when to give up.”

Humans are not good or evil but a secret third thing (stupid).

The foolish perseverance of humanity and how our legacy as a species lies securely in the stories that we keep alive.

It even managed to somehow catch me offguard with a fairly common twist! (A testament to how engrossed I was in the writing.)

Moral is: Don't let other people's reviews discourage you from reading a book. Not all stories are for everyone, you learn along the way though which stories are for you.
