Kötü değil ama yaygara ne hakkında emin değilim. Beni kayıtsız bıraktı ...
This book's greatest selling point was its adept use of illustration to further the story line. Rather than write out pages of descriptions and dialogue, author Michael Selznik chooses rather to use drawings to make his points, often for pages on end. I found this approach to narrative completely fascinating and enjoyed its novelty probably more than the actual book itself. The sheer newness of the medium aside, the story was actually quite compelling. It was mysterious enough to keep you going (as if the drawings weren't enough) and ended with an almost Disneyesque happy ending. And I mean that in the best way; Selznik provides us with an ending that is touching and sweet without being saccharine or, worse, sappy. It's just the right amount of magic and happiness without going over the deepend into a musical. In fact, it is the combined magic of the story, the characters - magicians among them - and the medium that really make this book worth reading for both wee ones and adults.
I picked this up on Tarra's recommendation and loved it! I haven't really read any "romance" novels like this in a long time but really enjoyed this one. Both of the protagonists were really likable and the story was fast-paced and hot! Only one minor quibble-the phrase "her gentle rain" was used too many times for me-in fact, one time was too many. LOL I can deal with the usual euphemisms of this genre but this one was a hard limit for me ha ha.
HELP! Please read this book and talk to me about it! I MUST talk about it!!! It was wonderful/horrible, other-worldly/mundane, crazy... COME ON, read it! Let's talk!
Weightier than Atwood's contribution to the series, Winerson's thoughtful and captivating retelling was only thrown off by her random personal asides.
