klwest21 's review for:
Ella Minnow Pea
by Mark Dunn
Really, I'd probably give this book a 3.5, but since that isn't an option I had to make a choice.
I love that this book is a compilation of letters. It is playful, creative, quirky and imaginative.
The book certainly begs the question....which letter do you love the most and how would you cope with its abscence?
The story reminded me of the musical Urinetown (which I love) in some ways. Both use something that we take for granted and an oppressive regime restricts it. Whether it is the right to utilize certain letters of the alphabet as in this book or the bathroom in Urinetown.....I think they are inventive approaches to looking at political situations.
