    Lost Luggage lost me
    Four young men, fathered by the same man with different mothers, discover the existence of the others in Lost Luggage by Jordi Punti . Combined, they serve as the narrator of this book which is confusing enough on its own. To complicate matters for the reader even further, they are all named some variation of the same name and refer to themselves as The Christophers. I found the ending to be convenient considering the hundreds of pages that led up to it. Sorry to say, this is not a book I will be recommending.

    Lost Luggage
    "Lost Luggage" is a story about 4 boys trying to find the father who abandoned each of them and their 4 different mothers. The main story is quite clever, but the author is so ambitious in his telling of it that he introduces too many side characters and goes off on too many tangents. While this helps to make the story unique, it also tends to weigh the story down. When the story was revolving around the main 5 characters it had a charm to it, but I found my attention wandering during much of the book. It was interesting enough that I wanted to find out what happened to the father and the boys in the end, but a lot of the other characters were a distraction. I had to push myself sometimes to keep going.

    I gave up on page 364 of 473. The continuing change of eras/narrators/names and the accompanying details is not the kind of novel I enjoy. By page 364 I had tried really hard to finish the book. I don't look at the last pages of books to see how they end. That said after I finish this review I will do just that because I have to know what happened....but I will not read another 100 pages of the same 'to and froing'.....
