I started listening to the audio book after listening to <I>The Goose Girl</I>, and I ended up not finishing it because it was so unpleasant and upsetting to listen to! Maybe I should go back and try again.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551558744801344170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5935288103855064284.post-30036692772786006082009-03-14T13:41:00.000-07:002009-03-14T13:41:00.000-07:00All three books are in very close third person.

Several times I was suprised while reading when I realized it wasn't in first person, but it suits the books really well because it gives a sense of the wholeness of the story while focusing in on one person. Razo's book actually had a lot of his thoughts written out and was even closer to first person than the other two.<BR/><BR/>Well, it was cute... just seemed like it was targeted to a very young age group or something. Not much finesse.FatalisFortunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08916683650523777208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5935288103855064284.post-20157161977057482842009-03-14T00:58:00.000-07:002009-03-14T00:58:00.000-07:00So glad you enjoyed it!

(I seem to recall Razo's novel is first...)<BR/><BR/>(And I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who wasn't enamoured by <I>Rapunzel's Revenge</I>.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
