My Reviews
Zappa creates a fictional monster world that feels similar to the one in Where the Wild Things Are but a little darker. Is an easy read that would probably be enjoyable for children but is not a book club selection. At times it does feel as though the author is trying too hard to be creative rather than letting the story tell itself. The book is a visual treat, however, with wonderful graphics and pictures throughout.
Written in the poetic voice that is Morrison's trademark, this is a wonderful story of two friends and thier journeys through life. Intertwined is an examination of the complexity of mother daughter relationships. A wonderful selection for any women's book club!
I would not recommend this book - The characters are left undeveloped, the author spends 250 of the 270 pages building up to a storm that is then covered in 10-15 pages and the book ends abruptly. I never felt a connection to any characters. If this had not been a book club selection I would never have read past page 50.
