I thought that Lauren Oliver's Liesl and Po was absolutely precious. It was so endearing to be taken on a young girl's adventure to set free the ashes of her father with the help of a maybe-boy-maybe-girl ghost, a maybe-cat-maybe-dog ghost and a young Alchemist's assistant. There were so many time...
This is a sweet, cute, melancholy, bittersweet sort of book. Lauren Oliver's writing style was a high point for me--it was a distinctive tone, the mood was very well done, it was just effective writing.It was a very quick read: I started it during work last night and finished it before I went to bed...
2.5 starsLiesl & Po is a sweet, well-written children's tale. However, I did find it to be very slow largely and it had difficulty keeping my attention. I imagine this would be quite a bad characteristic of a children's book as they would need to be absorbed to sit through 300 pages, would they not?...
Lovely, heartbreakingly sad, amazing! I can see I'll have to try out some of Oliver's other books.I don't think I'd let anyone under Junior high level read this book, however. A bit gruesome.
This was my second attempt at Liesl & Po. Earlier, I abandoned it after just a chapter or two, but Wendy gently reminded me that she had recommended it.

Wie auch nicht anders von Lauren Oliver gewohnt, ist auch "Liesl & Po" eine tolle, traurige und melancholische Geschichte, die von einem 11-jährigen einsamen Mädchen handelt, die zusammen mit dem Geist Po, dem hundkatzenartigen Wesen Bundle
"She understood then, too, that everyone drowns differently, and that for everyone--even ghosts--there is a different kind of air."It's difficult trying to characterize this book. It is children's literature, but it doesn't shy away from dark themes or adult insights. While it reads like a fable, it...
I first remember seeing Liesl and Po displayed in a local bookstore when it was released, and I was instantly drawn to it. I'll admit I haven't read anything else by Lauren Oliver, but her teen offerings haven't interested me so I haven't paid those much attention.Liesl and Po won me early on with t...
Id like to get my hands on the audiobook version of Liesl and Po if only for the fact that Jim Dale narrated it. It was the main reason why I learned of the book's existence (second being Lauren Oliver's Delirium trilogy is already on my to-read list). As it is, I have to settle for the printed vers...
