hoperu 's review for:
City of the Beasts
by Isabel Allende
I really enjoy Isabel Allende's adult fiction and was curious to see if her YA work would hold up. It does. Apart from a little bit of repetition, which could be due in part to the translation, the language and flow of the story is good. The main characters are interesting, and actually change and grow in the course of the story. If you have trouble suspending disbelief, then this story isn't for you, but if you like fantasy and magical realism, then you will probably like it. Even if you are an adult.
