A review by booksaremyfavorite
Skellig by David Almond
3.0
Some children's books are written so well and so beautifully that they provide equal if not greater entertainment for adults. After reading the reviews, I thought this might be one. It was not. It was good, but it was not truly great.
The imagery is vivid. I especially enjoyed the descriptions of birds in this book, particularly the owls. The children's relationships with their parents is honest and accurate. There are beautiful sections.
I'm not sure what it was. It was compelling, but it didn't grab me the way I thought it might.
