nothing because i havent read it yet
I was lucky to get an advanced reader's copy of this book and I'm likewise lucky to be very familiar with Knauss' work. Even though I was off the radar for awhile and left this up as a current read for awhile, the truth was I blazed through it in a few days. Like many of her short stories, this longer Sail to Italy and Sail from Italyis a whimsical and magical tale that will remind you of your childhood fairy tales--but with empowered and intelligent female protagonists, instead of passive princesses. The lighthearted nature of the story also makes it totally appropriate for a younger audience, so don't hesitate to share it with the teenagers in your life, After all, youth today deserve better fair tales than we were told.
one of the best classic story about love and hate
I love this author so much. I enjoyed the story, thought that the characters were well though out and love the way that she brings New York to life. There were a few twists and turns that I didn't see coming and a few that were obvious. but all in all a great book. can't wait till the next one!
So good! The writing style is a bit dense which takes some getting used to, but give yourself the time to get into it - it is well worth it! You will become attached to the characters whose stories are beautifully interwoven. Don't bother with the movie - it pales in comparison (and Nicholas Cage's accent might make you want to throw things at the screen)
Telegraph: The book deals with failing parents and running away, but its positive conclusion prevents it getting too distressing. It is charmingly written and the straightforward language makes it suitable for preteens and young teenagers, a younger audience than that for Valentine’s previous books.
thorough book covering the history of the planet and the rise and fall of civilizations. solidly shows the green perspective on macro-issues.
