A must read! This is the story of Leo, whose parents tragically die in a random (??) car accident when he is only 25. When he finally comes back to their house to start clearing it out, he finds a CD-Rom in his parents’ mailbox that is personally addressed to him. And surprise – when he puts it into his laptop to read it, this CD-rom was created for him by his father! The more answers he gets, the more questions he has and little by little he unravels the story of his parents’ lives before he was born.
An excellent début novel – great vacation read!
Lavendier
A story that both young adults and adults will appreciate. An easy read about a likeable young man named Leo, who grows up very quickly the day both his parents die in an accident. He finds out when he’s clearing out their house that he’s never even seen any pictures of his mother when she was pregnant with him, and little by little he begins to question the life he had with his loving parents.
A well-written first novel by this author, can’t wait to read more of them!
Miller-Smith
A great first novel, easy to read, likeable characters (mostly) and can’t wait to read more of his books, as I see there are quite a few of them translated into English! Like they say at school, Keep up the good work!!
