sortabadass 's review for:
Abarat
by Clive Barker
It was alright, but I almost wonder if Mr. Barker had scrapped his plans for a fantastical encyclopedia and wove in a novel instead. Each passage seems like a description of some strange new creature with a bizarre affliction/wardrobe/companion and a scrappy 'can do' attitude. While certainly entertaining, I often found my attention wandering and then snapping guiltily back into place.
