DID NOT FINISH: 2%

Demasiado denso. Muchas descripciones inútiles

I don't tend to read cocoon stories, however, since homeschooling my children in reading much more frequently and this book was one that has sparked the thought that perhaps I should read them more often for myself and not just to the children.

We listened to an audio-version of the book and it was done quite well; we continually wanted to listen to another chapter. There was action and suspense and lots of learning about geography & cultures

(I can’t believe I just referenced Prufrock, which I never liked.) (Of course, I’m also the person who quote-tweeted a tweet suggesting Disney green-light a Muppets version of The Great Gatsby with “Heh – green light. #laughsinEnglishmajor”, so … *shrug*)

For the full review -- including a Short And Concise History Of Alaina's Many Readings of This Book - follow the link to That's What She Read.

Totally charming. I don't know what I expected, but not quite this? Some genuine laugh out loud moments.
