The cover is intriguing,as Kelly points out.

I tend to really like the odd and experimental as I think that we have plenty of conventional writing to choose from.<br /><br />On the other hand the very unconventional can lead to a literary train wreck, Based on your commentary it sounds like the author was straining to be clever and odd without a good reason to do so.

I had to read it three times before it made sense to me. Lately I have been reading pre-teen magical books and this would fit well with them, though i am still confused by the first line of the inside cover; symbols?Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501259287565067209noreply@blogger.com
