I just came across a fascinating review/discussion of The Book That Eats People on a blog called- human behavior. Based in Australia, I believe, they bought the book Down Under. That makes me happy.
I see the author, John Perry, has read the review and wrote a great comment afterwords. I love the fact that this book is dynamic and offers so many POV’s and can stimulate a discussion about so many different ideas. This reviewer is especially interested in the moral aspects of the story. Is it a good book? Is it scary? Does it have a moral perspective? How exciting to be able to think about these issues as part of a picture book discussion!
I wondered when someone like you might find that.
What I should have said is “one reasonable interpretation of the book, if you want to read anything into it at all, is…” Because I could say it’s “about” any number of things, not just the power of books.
