THI...Also late to the party but man this was good. THIS is the kind of fantasy novel I would love to see as a movie. This gives the truth about how adolescence and many times adult life goes for many people, I also agree this book and its sequel didn't get the respect they deserve. Now to just find where you reviewed the other book...oh for a search function on blogspot that just looks at one blog.Zaldarhttp://www.readandfindout.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-58670296603261332832010-11-10T19:18:41.065-06:002010-11-10T19:18:41.065-06:00I'm late to the party...

I think your comments about the expectations by the book's press blurbs and x/y comparisons are spot on. In particular your comments on how the novel examines the relationship between what is "real" and "fantasy;" or at least how we perceive that relationship are spot on.<br /><br />It has certainly been a novel that has stuck with me since I finished it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
