The Word Trove | 
pickI didn't know what to expect from this as I couldn't find much info online and the blurb just hinted and let drop that the whole thing would be a magical journey and wow was it.
I hadn't read a book like this before.
It was so clever.
The whole premise of the story was the journey of a word.
He set on a quest to find his own meaning.
I suppose he was looking for an identity, the key to who he was and his essence.
Wonderful and whimsical.
so-soI love the concept of this book. I'm a huge book/language nerd, and there's nothing better than a truly clever play on words.
Yet, I didn‘t have the highest of expectations for The Word Trove. This level of anthropomorphism makes the story read almost like an allegory, like Pilgrim‘s Progress, rather than as a fully imagined, fleshed out story world.
I would recommend this book to language nerds, and lit-lovers looking for a quick and easy read.
so-soFrom the blurb this sounded so good, really magical and mysterious as the blurb was quite sparse and gave little away as to the actual plot so it intrigued me.
But for me it just didn't live up to the premise of the write up.
To sum it up the story is all about a word that doesn't understand its meaning and significance so goes on an epic journey to find its root source and where he belongs.
Along the way he meets lots of wacky, weird characters.
