Book Reviews of Little, Big
Book Review: A little annoying
Summary: 2 Stars
I just started to read the Book. So far I eke out to page 86. The Story itself is interesting and that is the only reason I decided to continue.
After 60 Pages I started first time to count the iteration of the word "though". It seems to be the Author`s favorite and at some pages I could find it up to four times.
I am very sorry but this uninspired writing is nothing else but annoying and for a foreigner who`s mother-tongue is not english and who wants to read books not last for practice, to my opinion it is not the best choice.
Summary of Little, Big
John Crowley's masterful Little, Big is the epic story of Smoky Barnable, an anonymous young man who travels by foot from the City to a place called Edgewood?not found on any map?to marry Daily Alice Drinkawater, as was prophesied. It is the story of four generations of a singular family, living in a house that is many houses on the magical border of an otherworld. It is a story of fantastic love and heartrending loss; of impossible things and unshakable destinies; and of the great Tale that envelops us all. It is a wonder.
