I bought this book in italy for fun and I am amazed at where it can take you. Experimenting with papers and other things to creat designs is the ideal thing for anyone who just wants to experiment with degign. It is ideal for teenagers with an interest in style and would help give insight into whether to dabble in a design course. I loved it.
I bought this book because JK Rowling had rated it and because Chris Columbus had been involved in the Harry Potters. After a promising start, I started to lose interest, rollercoasting from one scene to the next with no depth in it at all. I found nothing exciting, nothing to hold me. I didn't care if I picked it up again and often thought of reading something else and giving up. In part it was compliccated even for fiction. Compared to other books in the genre I think this one lacked the kind of quality I long for in an adventure story, each book scene seemed in consequental. I need more than this story gave me.
This book is a refreshing change from the Vampire novels that seem to spring up like weeds. Danielle Trussoni has a fantastic idea that she has woven into the fabric of history. I eagerly awaited this novel after reading Angelology and I could not predict the story that unfolded but as each page turned, I found I became more involved. It raised questions in my mind and as it traced characters known in history books and gave a new slant on their stories, I realised just what fantastic imagination this writer possessed and the potential she has. I love Danielle Trussoni and would recommend this novel and it's predecessor, hope there is more to come.
