Críticas:
Ben Okri's first novel in five years stands in the grand tradition of...One Hundred Years of Solitude and Midnight's Children...It is the imaginative generosity and peculiar purity of the writing that continually touch the heart. Here is a prose with a tender tread, alive to human frailty....One of the striking affinities he has with Blake (is that he) uses words to point at the hidden, the space where the sacred lives and breathes. (Observer)
He has a diction that glides superbly. His ear is pitch-perfect....Starbook is wondrous... (The Scotsman)
The basic premise of the novel is a simple one: boy meets girl, tries to find ways to woo her, fights off a rival and travels with her into eternity. But this most simple of plots belies the extraordinary messages and hidden meanings waiting to be extracted from Okri's text...a profound philosophical meditation upon the transience of life and the desperate need that human beings have to achieve immortality by creating great masterpieces....this book pushes the experience of reading far beyond any usual boundaries....profoundly passionate, moving and intense (Scotland on Sunday)

'We are listeners at the oracle. Those who truly hear are touched and changed.'
At one level, Starbook tells the delicate story of a prince and a maiden who are both tested by trials in a mythical land where art, initiation and dynamic stillness are supremely important.
At another level, this rich and stimulating novel opens up the nature of reality, where the essence of life is revealed, and the source of enchantment can be ours - where beauty, regeneration and fulfilment are perhaps possible.
A dazzling achievement of the imagination, and a profound work of literature of the kind that won Ben Okri the Booker Prize for The Famished Road, his new novel is a pleasure to read, with an unforgettable radiance of its own. For, no matter where we live and who we think we are, we all have access to the oracle, and a vision of life far greater than ourselves, which comes from 'the book of life among the stars'.
