amadswami 's review for:

Abarat by Clive Barker

4.0

Given that it only took me 3 days to complete this reading, I have to admit that I was a bit shocked to be reading a fantasy story directed at adolescent girls by the man who gave me my very own teen nightmares of Pinhead and his crew. While it could be more fleshed out, the adventure was well-paced and not at all derivative of Baum.

Heading back when I find that pier in MN!
