Da Vinci's Tiger by L.M. Elliott

1.0

I was quite disappointed in this book. I loved the concept of it, because I enjoy novels that give life to figures in famous paintings, but this story was dumbed down and I felt that the author was looking down on her readers. The way this novel was written made me feel that L.M. Elliott didn't want to write the story to its full potential, because she didn't have faith that her readers would understand the story if she did. I don't like when young adult novels look down on their readers, because young adults are more than capable of grasping and understanding many different stories and writing styles. If a young adult novel can't be enjoyed by adults alike, I consider it a failure, and that is what my view of this novel has come to.
