Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessl

[etheline]

I don't know if there already exist a topic for this book, but I tried to search for one (but the search didn't work) and I looked back a few pages and couldn't find any.

 

I haven't read this book yet, but really want to, and I think this is the perfect opportunity to start reading it (from Penguin's newsletter):

It sounds very intriguing, doesn't it? I think this is a fabolous way to promote books, and right now I'm happy I didn't read this book before so I can look forward to a new chapter every evening

 

So what do you think of the book if you've read it? Worth listening to?

I haven't read it yet, but it is on the TBR shelf.

It looks like it could be an interesting little read.

It would be good to hear any thoughts on the book.

Ooh I have it on my TBR shelves too! I'm planning on reading it when I go on holiday.

 

Update: Penguin are offering an audio download of the first chapter - here

I just finished this and absolutely loved it. My review is here, and on LibraryThing (in my sig). What a fantastic book this was.
