A review by ashleylm
The Salt Herring by Charles Cros, Edward Gorey, Alphonse Allais
2.0
Maybe for the very, very young, just because of the comforting sound of repetition, but I don't think they'd be enthusiastic about the visuals or the content. It's not much of a story for grown-ups either (explicitly so, according to his text), so I don't really see the audience for this. Very little payoff.
(Note: I'm a writer, so I suffer when I offer fewer than five stars. But these aren't ratings of quality, they're a subjective account of how much I liked the book: 5* = an unalloyed pleasure from start to finish, 4* = enjoyed it, 3* = readable but not thrilling, 2* = disappointing, and 1* = hated it.)
