erine 's review for:

Sailor Twain: Or: The Mermaid in the Hudson by Mark Siegel

3.0

---

Beautiful illustrations really create the historical atmosphere on the Hudson River. I should have taken more time to absorb the pictures, but the story was almost too compelling and I had to find out what happened, which distracted me from enjoying the artwork. This mermaiden legend was fascinating, but I admittedly was confused about some of the aspects of hearing the mermaid's song, souls torn in half, dead versus not dead, and the eventual resolution. It warrants another read, with a closer reading of the pictures.

Some nudity and sex.
