Review of 'Hector and the search for happiness' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Previous to this book, the author had only written non-fiction books and with that in mind, I think this change of direction was a good way to write a book about happiness. It is quite a simple writing style. The author himself said he wanted to write a series of fables, and they do feel a lot like the style of fables. Though with translations I am never sure if it's come across correctly!
It is a very short book. This edition on Goodreads has the page count wrong, it is only 167 pages (without the excerpt from the next book). It did leave me with a smile at the end.
