ladyberry 's review for:
The Tale of Despereaux
by Kate DiCamillo
Before Reading:
I borrowed this from a friend, and she said it was really good. Plus, it looks really cute and I love Kate DiCamillo :) Excited to start it!
Mid-Reading:
I'm about halfway through it, finished the first two "books", or parts that it's split into. It's a very easy read, and it goes quickly. I really like it, it's pretty adorable, and now I really want to see the movie!
After Reading:
I. LOVE. THIS. BOOK. SO MUCH!!!!! Seriously might be my favorite book..... ever.... It's so whimsical and witty, while at the same time teaching thought-provoking lessons. Very sweet and endearing, I love Despereaux's spirit, and his courage. I love the fact that it's a children's book, while still teaching deep life lessons, like forgivness, bravery, love, courage, and a bad person turning good. SO amazing!!! I read it in three hours yesterday, and then I read it again this morning, and again when I got home, although I more skimmed it the last time, reading my favorite parts :) Definitely recommend it to everyone and anyone!!! If you still feel like a child like me, read this book. If you know children, read this book. If you have ever
been a child, READ THIS BOOK!!!!
On a side note, this is a really good book to read aloud, and I had the idea that whenever you're reading it to somebody, especially if it's a child, to put their name in whenever the author addresses the "reader",(which happens a lot. I think it adds a lot to the story, though :) Definitely on my list of books to read to my kids one day!!!!
So, there you have it. I am now totally, completely, and utterly in love with this book and everything about it.
