A review by vermidian
Hob and the Goblins by William Mayne

3.0

This wasn’t really the book for me if I’m being honest. I didn’t really enjoy the simple language so much and, at times, I found the actions of Hob difficult to understand in the literal sense. Being a kid’s book with simple language, this wasn’t a problem I thought I’d be facing.

That being said, the world and the rules of it were rather charming. I thought it was a nice concept, having a hob making your home safe and comfortable for you.

Still, this book just wasn’t really as endearing as I’d hoped.
