What an odd little story and not at all what I expected from Lauren Oliver. It just seems so out of her normal writing style. I can't decide if I liked it or not. It's a fun and lovingly ghost story about magic and loss but not a whole lot happens and I'd probably recommend this for younger reader's...
What can I say? It's Jim Dale. To those of you who have had the pleasure of listening to him narrate an audio book before, you know that it's hard not to be put under a spell by his voice. If I had any tiny qualm it might be that Liesl's voice didn't sound very girlish. Then again it still works per...
Harumph....I'm just a bit disappointed, but what's more I'm shocked that I'm disappointed. It was really an okay sort of book, but I think (given all the glowing reviews) I was expecting to have my mind blown. My mind is still very much intact. I found myself easily distracted while reading this ...
I had read a lot of buzz about this book when it came out and have had several students ask about a sequel to Oliver's Spindlers. I decided I needed to read Liesl and Po for those Oliver-loving students. Although I found throwing the bickering, reunited siblings into the ending annoying I really l...
This is a challenging review to write because while I enjoyed every minute of Liesl & Po and felt a warm sense of comfort upon finishing it, I've had time to reflect further & find that there's some overall elements that don't truly merit 4 stars. On one hand, Oliver earns every single star for her ...
Genre: Fantasy / Friendship Year Published: 2011 Year Read: 2012 “A Tale about a mix-up that changes several characters’ lives forever!” For many years now, I have been reading the “Harry Potter” series by J.K. Rowling and I really enjoyed every single one of them! Now, I have foun...
This review can be found on The Raven ReadersI was really expecting to love this one. I really enjoy stories that contain magic and when they are Middle Grade that just makes them even better. Unfortunately this one didn't live up to the expectations that I had going into it. Throughout the book I f...
“She liked the word ineffable because it meant a feeling so big or vast that it could not be expressed in words.”Ineffable. That’s how I felt after I finished Liesl and Po. Normally, I wouldn’t be so sucked in to a children’s book, but every once in a while, one comes along and whisks you away to an...
