(  ) ElenaGwynne | Dec 13, 2009 |  This is the second book in the Griffin and Sabine trilogy (there are further books in the series, but the first three are - in my opinion - the best). The trilogy is - are - whatever - some of my favorite books. I was amused to find them shelved in the 'art' section in a local bookstore. Although maybe it's fitting. It's not so much reading books as it is having an experience, and it feels almost voyeuristic at times - how often do you read someone else's love letters, and a pair of artists at that? The rich artwork is as important a part of the story as the letters and postcards that you read. (  ) bluesalamanders | Jun 13, 2009 | Best book of the trilogy - it fleshed out the story nicely. Enjoyed the reference to Marine Ices! (  ) Moomin_Mama | Mar 26, 2009 | Cute concept of including envelopes to be opened and independent letters to be read; it was tintillating but ultimately did not grab my enduring interest. maggie1944 | Mar 13, 2009 | I love the format of the letters and postcards, and the story keeps me wondering about what is going on.

| Book description |
|
Sabine was supposed to be imaginary, a friend and lover that Griffin had created to soothe his loneliness. But she threatens to become embodied, to appear on his doorstep, in fact. So he runs.
Griffin & Sabine, the most creative and talked-about bestseller of 1991, left readers on the edge of a precipice. With Sabine's Notebook, they begin -- along with Griffin -- the fall. Once again, the story is told through strangely beautiful postcards and richly decorated letters that must actually be pulled from their envelopes to be read. But this volume is also a sketchbook and diary kept by the possibly unreal Sabine, who is living in Griffin's house in London while he wanders through Europe, North Africa, and Asia, backwards through layers of ancient civilizations -- and of himself.
Filled with her delicately macabre drawings and notations, the notebook adds a darker element of visual intrigue to their complex and mysterious world. For the thousands who finished Griffin & Sabine and asked, "What happened next?," this second volume in the trilogy provides the answers -- but raises new and even more haunting questions of its own.
