5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly philosophical, 3 May 2008
By Mr. P. A. Francis (Sheffield, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Wizard, the Ugly, and the Book of Shame (Hardcover)
The illustrations are very colourful and styalised collage (somewhat reminiscent of Dave McKean) and the use of language is above average for a story that is probably aimed at children of 5+ (although our 3 year old does like this - despite some of the pictures of the Ugly scarring her). Where this book really wins is in the philosophical nature of the story - the Ugly wishes to be made beautiful and tries to use the Wizards magic against the wizards warning. The result causes much trouble for both until the Ugly owns up and has to realise that he can be happy as who he is.

There are many adults who face the same battle to learn to defeat the mirror!
