jay_the_hippie 's review for:
Tanglewreck
by Jeanette Winterson
I really enjoyed the use of modern science in this story. Sure, what the author did with it doesn't quite match reality as well know it, but it was interesting to see how it was used.
I really picked this book up as a potential read-aloud and then, when I was getting onto a plane, I found myself with this book in my bag instead of the one stored next to it. Oops! I do think this would be a great read-aloud, with a variety of moods, lots to discuss, characters who are mysterious all the way through (and others who are simply funny), and some interesting voices to create and explore.
I would have preferred a stronger ending. Not that this ending was bad... it just wasn't memorable. I actually had to reread the last few pages this morning to remind myself how it ended.
