Best PDF Ebook The Museum of Literary Souls, by John Connolly

Mr. Berger has spent thirty-four years keeping his life as empty as possible. His job title as a closed accounts registrar doesn't spark much interest, and his cautious flirtation with a woman at his company was cut short upon her engagement to another man. This doesn't bother him, however, as he much prefers the company of books to that of people. When a series of fortuitous events leads to an early retirement in the English countryside, Mr. Berger is content to spend the remainder of his years nestled comfortably between the pages of a book. But fate has other plans.

His serene life turns strange when he witnesses a tragedy chillingly reminiscent of Anna Karenina as a woman flings herself before a train. When he rushes to the scene, she has vanished, leaving no body on the tracks. Berger's investigation into this event leads him to Caxton Private Lending Library & Book Depository, where the line between fiction and reality becomes blurred beyond comprehension.

14 of 14 people found the following review helpful. A satisfying novel in a few short pages By JZS John Connolly is best known for his Charlie Parker series which, from book reviews, always seemed too violent for my tastes. In addition, I recently had a frustrating experience with another "short" so I was a little hesitant about getting "The Museum of Literary Souls". But the book description was so interesting that I couldn't resist and now I am so happy that I have this.What a small treasure. Connolly's story of the ultimate book lover and a book lover's paradise is a pleasure from beginning to end. To call this a short story really doesn't do it justice. He has managed to create a complete, satisfying novel in 17 very short chapters (on the kindle fire HD the book is actually over 100 pages). In the first chapter alone Connolly provides a satisfying background for the protagonist that most authors couldn't have accomplished in the space of the entire book. And the prose loses nothing in the conciseness of the writing. I've been reading a lot of late Victorian/ early 20th century books of late and Connolly's prose has much of the same rhythm and charm.Could this have been an entertaining longer book? Sure. More iconic characters and details about them, more "adventures". That might have pushed me from a strong "like it" to a "love it"; but, I don't feel short changed in any way with it just as it is.I probably still won't read the Charlie Parker novels but for the first time in a long time I'm actually excited about an author and will definitely be getting others. Starting with his Samuel Johnson novels I think....

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Full 5-stars for this one. By Richard Pelroy Clever and charming original fantasy in a slightly unpredicted vein. Borrowing from quantum mechanics and the infentessimal world of atoms, we bring into existance what we look for, in this case, iconic heros and heronines from literataure. Made me look for more of Mr. Conolly (which I bought).

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. This was a quick, fun read. By Jessica I love the novella format, perfect for an evening's read. I also loved this book and would really enjoy future "episodes" if a sequel were written. The concept is imaginative with a bit of mystery which makes it easy to suspend any disbelief the reader may have; just enter the world of the Museum and enjoy. The main character has enough complexity to keep him interesting without being so fascinating as to overwhelm the story--nice balance. A peek without giving away too much:We meet thirty-something bachelor, Mr. Berger, leading his sort of solitary and detached existence as an accountant who has no real personal life and no real prospects and who seems doomed to lead a nearly invisible life. But, Mr. Berger is a reader, a collector, a lover of books, and it is this love for books that becomes his salvation when his curiosity is peaked by a chance meeting with a woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to a character he knows all too well from a favorite title. Mr. Berger finds his fortunes inexplicably changed and life blooms for the once lonely bean counter. He learns why alcohol, pity and bad writing are a dangerous combination but also that true compassion and propriety are invaluable. Highly recommended.More please, Mr. Connolly.
