March Book Club - CLOUD CUCKOO LAND by Anthony Doerr

The Struggle of Human Existence
The story opens with the experience in 2020 in the library between Seymour and Zino. And then we flashback and fill out both of their entire lives. I was still very confused about what this book was and what it was doing. We have this character in a library, then some other characters breaking into a library, and he's going to blow it up for some reason. It is often times that that immediate res and then flashback format kind of frustrates me at times. But I didn't mind it in this book. The nugget we get of the characters is such an interesting one. Like everybody gets their cloud cuckoo land, but it's not really what they expected.
