The Blue Shoe by Roderick Townley

5.0

I have seen a lot of reviews on the Blue Shoe that read far too much into the intricacies of the story telling and I think that it cheapens what the book is meant to do. When a first read it, I remember that I wanted the feeling it gave me to last forever. Even though I had never read it before, reading my old, secondhand copy gave me a strange feeling of nostalgia. It made me feel like I was a small child again, hearing a fairy tale for the very first time (a feeling that is all too rare once we are grown up). I think the main thing I would like to say is that the book is a short, easy read. Although this may not be an instant favorite of everyone who reads it, it surely was for me, and there is no harm in spending little to no time and money on a book that might be the same for you.
