Book Reviews of Very Far Away
Book Review: Look for something better...
Summary: 2 Stars
Yes, i couldn't wait to get this one, remembered it from my childhood. i think i just liked the fact that my Mom sat with me pouring over Sendak books...cause i don't think this one cuts it. The boy seems depressed, story is depressing, has a slightly funny quality, more interesting for adults than it is to my kids. I think my one child was interested based on my own interest, and she likes some of the characters a little bit. My other doesn't want me to read it again. Period. And I won't.
