library_kb 's review for:

Big Tree by Brian Selznick
3.0
adventurous fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

This one got a lot of really positive professional reviews, and I just don't see the enjoyment in the story. I definitely have liked Selznick's other books a lot more. This reads really quickly due to the format, but I felt like a lot of the illustrations were less detailed or interesting to look at then his other stories, and it felt a little preachy in the text.
