subvino's review against another edition

It hasn't even been three weeks since I read this book and I don't remember it very well. I guess that's a bad thing, though honestly bad books linger in my mind longer than good ones. This book isn't like most books I choose to read, but I did enjoy it and I'm looking forward to reading more Calvino in the future.

One of my favorite of all Calvinos, and probably the most accessable to new readers of his. There's not much I can add about this book if you're not already convinced by the premise. It's delightful. A realistic fairytale that Calvino joyfully plays with in his masterful way. Great fun.
