5.0 out of 5 stars Profoundly and hauntingly moving, 13 Dec 2006

Seeker (England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Penguin of Death (Hardcover)

I picked this up in a bookshop, also attracted by the strange title, whilst looking for a Christmas present for a friend. I was so delighted by it that I bought 2 copies, one for my friend and one for me! EM is witty, insightful and joyful. If you want to treat yourself or a friend, buy this book!

J. E. Murphy "mistress snowspider" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Penguin of Death (Hardcover)

An unusual little book; the story is told in the form of a short poem. Both witty and insightful, it is oddly compelling and you're sure to enjoy this again and again (though you might not want to read it to small children??)

Dr. J. A. James - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Penguin of Death (Hardcover)

I picked up the Penguin of Death at the bookshop, being attracted by the strange title. I had to read it from cover to cover and was so touched by it's deepness and enigmatic storyline that I had to buy it. Edward Monkton is simply a genius.

4.0 out of 5 stars Penguin of death book
Book was delivered in good time but did have slight scruffing round the edges, nothing extreme though. All round happy with my purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Penguins
If you love Penguins you will love this book.

Very funny and at the same time slightly disturbing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful little book
Bought on a whim because of the odd title. As poetry goes, really it should be classed as doggeral; if you read any two lines independent from the rest of the poem you'd think it... Read more
