Presenting October’s reviews in bite-sized portions for your Halloween goody bags:
.
The Book of Wonder
not high fantasy
varied and eclectic tales
hit me from left field
.
The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet
writing, kid are sharp
gimmick gets tedious quick
T.S. talks to porch
.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
undead English plague
sophisticates sowing gore
with katana swings
.
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
voice, voice, voice, voice, voice
there are that many, all great
takes dorkiness deep
.
Juliet, Naked
guy friendly romcom
not much here is new, Hornby
yet, a pleasant yarn
.
The Book Thief
narrator is death
need not be shunned by book clubs
another great read
.
The Sherriff of Yrnameer
warning! tv pen
unimaginative bore
pretty much crappy
.
Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters
swashbuckling fun
not as clever a round two
reviewed tomorrow
.
Ha..this cracked me up. More, please.
