the artwork was very pretty but i don't think the story translated very well into a graphic novel. it made me really want to re-watch the movie though.
This book gave me an almost physical sensation of pleasure as I read it. I want to overstate this: the prose hums with power. I've been goodreading long enough that I think about what I might say later as I read - this is either a curse or a blessing - and all my mind could do was come up with a lis...
Beagle continually surprised me with his unique prose. Descriptions and metaphors in odd juxtapositions that at first make no sense but then you blink and they make complete sense. His dialogue often rang with rhythm and rhyme, nudging me to re-read a snippet just to hear it roll off my tongue. A...
Wow! An amazing read. The words and the language that Beagle uses just comes to life and paints pictures on the page.

A good friend from New Zealand used to quote this to me all the time, and I never knew where she had it from. For that reason ...
I recently re-read this book as part of a group read. I've always loved it, but this is one of those books that you only realized how much you love it when you read again.
