Liesl and Po by Lauren Oliver
3.0
I feel like this book should’ve been titled “Liesl & Will,” seeing as you don’t really get a good picture of who or what Po is, even in the end. And also because on the paperback copy that I have, it’s Liesl & Will on the cover, Po nowhere to be seen.
But I did think that this was a cute story about friendship. And the magical elements seemed to be man-made, which was interesting. Some characters I didn’t see the point of, though. Like the old lady from the train who’s so intent on having two children arrested just because she believes everything that’s told to her. She doesn’t add anything to the story other than to just be there and be belligerent about everything.
And Mo. He doesn’t really add anything to the story for me either, tbh.
It was cute to read, but kind of underwhelming too.
