christielfoley 's review for:
The Tale of Despereaux
by Kate DiCamillo
I do not get why people like this book. Like at all. It was fine, but I didn't really find the characters to be very likeable, even Despereaux. And the dungeons were weird and dark for a children's book. Why were all the parents so awful? And the cauliflower ear girl was sad and odd and I'm not sure if I was supposed to like her? Was I supposed to find her funny? Was I supposed to walk away with a bad taste in my mouth? Because I did. Newberry committee, explain yourselves plz. The ending was fast and kind of lame. I'm sad because Mercy Watson is life, but I don't think I can trust reading just "anything" by this author.
