beetree 's review for:
Come, Thou Tortoise
by Jessica Grant
Dana bought me this book as a gift when he came to Toronto. I got so excited when I saw it on my night table because Dana has awesome taste in books. And CDs. I should buy him a book one of these days. Yes.
Anyway, this book completely endearing, as Dana said, and I'm glad I didn't figure out the ending before it happened. As I read it, I would inadvertently start thinking in jerky, awkward, discrete movements like Audrey does which was...interesting and had me blinking a lot. I'm happy she kept Audrey ambiguous, leaving out specifics that would normally seem important. She never painted a clear picture of what Audrey looked like besides the fact that she had freckles, and never overtly started exactly what was off about her. This book was food for the imagination for sure.
