Book Review of Night Train to Lisbon

Night Train to Lisbon
Night Train to Lisbon
Author: Pascal Mercier
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Unknown Binding
reviewed on


This is my first Mercier book. I bought it in Venice, Italy, to read on the long trip home, and it did keep me reading. However, there were times when it was hard to fathom what the main character's motivation was for his search for a dead author. Obviously, he was having a life crisis, but still! I ended up liking the book pretty well, and it added some very good quotes to my collection. Pretty heavy on the philosophical, but worth my time and effort.
