This is a fun book, with a mix of fantasy and mystery that will capture most readers.The book is a bit difficult to describe because it is sort of a story within a story. One storyline is Irving's and the other is his author. Irving's part of the story takes place in the Academy, where he learns about himself. But as much as I enjoyed that one, I preferred Irving's author's story line. I loved to see the way he wrote, shifting Irving's character and plot. It is very cleverly written.The writing itself is wonderful. It has a nice quirkiness to it that makes it a fun to read. I did find the beginning a tad bit confusing, because we don't really know what's happening or who the characters are, but it slowly starts changing. As Irving learns more about himself, so do we, which is fun. You might find yourself confused at the beginning, but know that everything will be cleared up.I do recommend this book. It is very amusing, with lovely writing, which will keep you entertained for many hours.
