A review by rachelfield
Briar Rose by Jane Yolen
Okay, I actually couldn't finish this because the writing was deeply awful (which is a shame, because I thought the plot was very interesting), but I have to post a review just so I can include the line that had me and my husband laughing ourselves silly. Real line, really included in this book, really not removed by her editor:
"Her eyebrows worked independently of one another, which gave her the look of a slightly demented dove." (Followed by: "Becca decided she liked that.")
So many questions raised here . . . how do eyebrows work independently? Why, exactly, would that make anyone look like a dove? And good heavens, why a "slightly demented dove?" If I ever meet Jane Yolen, these will be the questions I ask.
