Review of 'The solitaire mystery' on 'Goodreads'

I may never look at a deck of cards the same way again. The Solitaire Mystery is another imaginative, clever, and thought-provoking philosophical tale by Jostein Gaarder. This time, the protagonist is a 12-year-old boy named Hans Thomas, a bright boy who is quickly exiting childhood and trying to make sense of the world around him.

This story does not have too much in common with Sophie's World--it's much more like a fairy tale. I did not expect this, and yet--I enjoyed it very much, and thought it worked very well, in its own way. Eventually, I'd like to read more of Gaarder's novels.

Excuse me, may I have your Joker?

Good read!
