Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet. Der Einband weist nur sehr geringfügige Beschädigungen auf, wie z.B. kleinere Schrammen, er hat aber weder Löcher, noch ist er eingerissen. Bei gebundenen Büchern ist der Schutzumschlag möglicherweise nicht mehr vorhanden. Die Bindung weist geringfügige Gebrauchsspuren auf. Die Mehrzahl der Seiten ist unbeschädigt, das heißt, es gibt kaum Knitter oder Einrisse, es wurden nur in geringem Maße Bleistiftunterstreichungen im Text vorgenommen, es gibt keine Textmarkierungen und die Randbereiche sind nicht beschrieben. Alle Seiten sind vollständig vorhanden. Genauere Einzelheiten sowie eine Beschreibung eventueller Mängel entnehmen Sie bitte dem Angebot des Verkäufers.

Reviews
"A quirky and deeply affecting charmer of a novel, Lily and the Octopus is funny, wise, and utterly original in its exploration of what it means to love any mortal creature. This brave little dachshund will capture your heart, as will her prickly, tenderhearted, and irresistible owner. Don't miss their adventures together." -Sara Gruen, bestselling author of Water for Elephants, "You will tear through this big-hearted, inventive novel. A fast and funny read that also happens to be a profound meditation on love and forgiveness, Lily and the Octopus is a delight." -Christina Baker Kline, bestselling author of Orphan Train, "It is a joyful book; it is also a sincerely written tragedy that invoked the purity of friendship between animal/human family members. It's laughter through tears. Rowley has a sense of humor with just enough morbid sensibility to appeal to a wide audience (even if animal best friend books aren't one's thing). Yet, he navigates the five stages of grief and loss while inspiring others to appreciate the lives we already have." --Edge Media, " Lily and the Octopus is the dog book you must read this summer.... Reading this heart-wrenching but ultimately breathtaking novel was a very profound experience.... As Lily might say, 'YOU! MUST! READ! THIS! BOOK!'" -- The Washington Post, "I recommend it wholeheartedly. Because as sad as it can be, it's also charming, and funny, and often surprisingly profound. It's a just good read that spans the emotional spectrum -- and after all, that's what you want from fiction, isn't it? To feel? I do, for sure." --New York Review of Books , "My favorite book of the year: Steven Rowley's Lily and the Octopus . Hilarious, heartbreaking. You will absolutely cry and you will love it." -Patrick Ness, bestselling author of The Rest of Us Just Live Here, "The connection between man and dog is loud and clear in this sweet novel..." --Fort Worth Star-Telegram, "I recommend it wholeheartedly. Because as sad as it can be, it's also charming, and funny, and often surprisingly profound. It's a just good read that spans the emotional spectrum -- and after all, that's what you want from fiction, isn't it? To feel? I do, for sure." --New Dork Review of Books , "An exceedingly authentic, keenly insightful, and heartbreakingly poignant tribute to the purity of love between a pet and its human." - Booklist (starred review), "Sensitive, hilarious, and emotionally rewarding.... The intimacy of pet ownership is sweetly suffused throughout this heartwarming autobiographical fiction... In generous helpings of bittersweet humanity, Rowley has written an immensely poignant and touchingly relatable tale that readers (particularly animal lovers) will love." - Publishers Weekly, NATIONAL BESTSELLER " Lily and the Octopus is the dog book you must read this summer.... Reading this heart-wrenching but ultimately breathtaking novel was a very profound experience.... As Lily might say, ''YOU! MUST! READ! THIS! BOOK!''" -- The Washington Post "Startlingly imaginative...''Lily and the Octopus'' is a love story sure to assert its place in the canine lit pack...Be prepared for outright laughs and searing or silly moments of canine and human recognition. And grab a tissue: THERE! WILL! BE! EYE! RAIN!" -- Newsday "Sensitive, hilarious, and emotionally rewarding.... The intimacy of pet ownership is sweetly suffused throughout this heartwarming autobiographical fiction... In generous helpings of bittersweet humanity, Rowley has written an immensely poignant and touchingly relatable tale that readers (particularly animal lovers) will love." -- Publishers Weekly "Steven Rowley''s touching, fresh, energetic novel isn''t simply another ''boy and his dog'' story. It is a profound exploration of grief--how we find ourselves lost, how we search for reason, how we sacrifice ourselves for our loved ones, all to avoid paying the octopus. But the octopus will be paid. And in settling that debt, in the magical, hopeful world of Lily and the Octopus , we will learn to live--and love--again. A wonderfully moving story." --Garth Stein, bestselling author of The Art of Racing in the Rain "An exceedingly authentic, keenly insightful, and heartbreakingly poignant tribute to the purity of love between a pet and its human." -- Booklist (starred review) "A quirky and deeply affecting charmer of a novel, Lily and the Octopus is funny, wise, and utterly original in its exploration of what it means to love any mortal creature. This brave little dachshund will capture your heart, as will her prickly, tenderhearted, and irresistible owner. Don't miss their adventures together." --Sara Gruen, bestselling author of Water for Elephants "Singular, spectacular, and touchingly tentacular." --Chris Cleave, bestselling author of Little Bee "You will tear through this big-hearted, inventive novel. A fast and funny read that also happens to be a profound meditation on love and forgiveness, Lily and the Octopus is a delight." --Christina Baker Kline, bestselling author of Orphan Train "Intelligently written, finely observed, and surprisingly moving, this is a book you''ll find hard to put down." --Graeme Simsion, bestselling author of The Rosie Project "My favorite book of the year: Steven Rowley's Lily and the Octopus . Hilarious, heartbreaking. You will absolutely cry and you will love it." --Patrick Ness, bestselling author of The Rest of Us Just Live Here "You don''t need to be a dog lover to enjoy Steven Rowley''s new book, ''Lily and the Octopus,'' but if you''ve realized you like your dog more than most humans you encounter, this is one you won''t want to miss." -- Newport Beach Independent "In his funny, ardent and staunchly kooky way, Rowley expresses exactly what it's like to love a dog." -- Kirkus Reviews "Rowley shares a moving, profound tale of grappling with loss." --Real Simple "It is a joyful book; it is also a sincerely written tragedy that invoked the purity of friendship between animal/human family members.

Synopsis
" Lily and the Octopus is the dog book you must read this summer...a profound experience." -- The Washington Post Combining the emotional depth of The Art of Racing in the Rain with the magical spirit of The Life of Pi , Lily and the Octopus is an epic adventure of the heart. When you sit down with Lily and the Octopus , you will be taken on an unforgettable ride. The magic of this novel is in the read, and we don't want to spoil it by giving away too many details. We can tell you that this is a story about that special someone: the one you trust, the one you can't live without. For Ted Flask, that someone special is his aging companion Lily, who happens to be a dog. Lily and the Octopus reminds us how it feels to love fiercely, how difficult it can be to let go, and how the fight for those we love is the greatest fight of all. Remember the last book you told someone they had to read? Lily and the Octopus is the next one.

- v***v (2064)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
