My Reviews
Lots of grammar errors. Too many things happening that don't go together at all. Would make a good rough draft instead of a book. Author needs to research the subject matter more to make the book believeable.
This book contained a lot symbolism and I couldn't figure out a lot of it. It's a dark story and I thought it was hard to follow. Some of the "secrets" of the family were not clearly revealed to me even though the characters in the story seemed to have figured some of them out. It wasn't the type of story I was expecting.
This book was a little difficult to read. The writing style made it a little hard to understand some of the events that were taking place during the Revolution. The characters were interesting. I assumed the book would focus more on Madame Tussard's work, instead of the French history, which seemed to be the main subject.
Not the type of story I expected to read. I thought it would be more personal but there were a lot of drawn out explanations about animal species and the countryside. Many characters were introduced but there was very little interaction between them. The book was written more as "just the facts" rather than a story of a family's life during a horrible time in history.
This book seemed to go on and on and not say anything. It was boring and hard to read. The only reason I finished it was because it was our book club choice for the month.
The book was very depressing. Although Mattie was a very inspiring little boy and I admire him and his mother, the book could have left out some of the detailed medical treatments and concentrated on his accomplishments.
At first I wasn't too sure about the book. But, the more you read the better it gets. Our book club really got into deep discussion as the book brought out many personal issues.
This was mainly letters written back and forth between the author and Fred Rogers. Although it does show the friendship between the two, I still got a little bored with it.
