This is a fairytale that follows all the traditional requirements of a fairytale. The two main characters are orphaned kids; one of which (Liesl) is an heiress with an evil stepmother who killed her father for his money. The mix-ups of the boxes allows for an easy plot and the adults are all evil ...
3.5 stars.I enjoyed this book. It is very fast-paced and a quick read. A solid middle grade read. The ghosts and the Other Side (ghost world) are unique and original, and I loved the way Po and Bundle are described. The characterization is clearly more middle grade with no deep character motivations...
This book came along at exactly the right time for me. I adored the: *lovely, lyrical prose and descriptive language. *extensive, quirky and adorable cast of characters. *unique interpretation of ghosts/the afterlife. *gorgeous illustrations. *touching and sensitive exploration of gri...

I've been waiting forever and then some to get my hands on this book and let me tell you - the wait has been well worth it. One of the most delightful and charming stories I've had the pleasure of reading in recent times! Pitch perfect in every way. I was shocked to see that Oliver, who also wrote t...
Words can not describe how utterly heart-warming, how completely enchanted and how truly ineffably happy Liesl & Po made me feel. Out of all the children's fairytales I have read in my youth and my adulthood, this modern tale really was an absolute joy to read. The prose is breathtakingly beautiful...
Liesl & PoThis review will mostly consist of random quotes from the book because I enjoyed Lauren Oliver's writing so much.Coincidences play a great role in Liesl & Po and this is referenced early on:“Coincidences; mix-ups; harmless mistakes and switches. And so a story is born” (page 35) I don’t un...
I was really looking forward to reading this book after seeing all of the 4 and 5 star reviews. After reading the book, I am feeling very let down. I would maybe give this book 2.5 stars if half stars were allowed. I found the story to move quite slowly. I also found the book to be rather boring...
