Im still in 2 minds over this book. in the begining i thouht how can this be a hostory of love? This man sounds like the lonelyest person ever. Then we come to Alma and Birds mom, how has kids but is otherwise a close 2nd in the lonelyness competition. 

Then finally we learn that this is not a story about the history of love but a story about a book that is called the history of love. or is it .....

I enjoyed the fact that its a book about a book. However i do have some questions about the fact it was published / stolen by his son...? sort of i'm still confused. 

This book does give minute details about every da life that makes you veel like you are instantly apart of it. It makes the minor caracters in the book shine brightly its a very nice read i was just.... missing something. I dont know what i can't put my vinger on it.
