kalkie 's review for:
City of the Beasts
by Isabel Allende
"I finished this last night and really struggled to think about what score to give it. On the whole I did enjoy the book, although I felt the first half of it was much better than the second half. The narrative where the children were with the Indians and the Beasts dragged a little for me and it was slightly disappointing that you weren't kept up-to-date with what was happening with the adults while the children were away. I also felt there was a "message" in the book, but it wasn't as skillfully written as a Coelho book for my liking.
On the whole, though, I did enjoy it; and the first half of the book really grabbed me. I'd definitely like to read more Allende sometime soon."
