I liked this book and didn't like it. To start with, it's supposedly geared for kids about 3rd grade and up. I listened to it on CD and feel that the reader has such a soft voice and talks in such measured tones that the first several chapters drag on. Gradually I got drawn into the story, but I think most 3rd and 4th graders won't have the patience to keep going. Secondly, the story has lots of layers to it and it will fly over the heads of most young readers. There are magic creatures, a few
This is an amazing, yet poignant tale. The story revolves around the title character who has run away from home. He ends up in a simply magical place where he is able to unpack what has caused him to run away (no spoilers here). Boyne is a master of bringing you into the story and he delivers things in such an incredible way that you gasp as you take in the words. He is hands down my favorite writer ever.
Noah Barleywater Runs Away by John Boyne is a book that fits under many genres. Ultimately i would place it under Children/Middle-grade Fiction, but it can also fall under Fantasy and Fairy Tale. I picked it up from a booksale and when i posted a photo of it on instagram, somebody commented and said that they really wanted to read the book because somebody whom they looked up to told them that it was their favourite book. Knowing that, i had to find out why. And i did. I loved the overall story
So we all know Im prone to shedding a few tears now and then. In fact, Im starting to think Random House actually hate me, which is why they keep releasing books that make me cry buckets. We had Trash, we had Half Brother, Boys Dont Cry (boys may not but Carly certainly does cry) and Tall Story to name a very small selection. Well, Noah Barleywater really takes the biscuit when it comes to reducing me to a blubbering wreck. I finished this book in the bath, surrounding by bubbles, weeping for
*3.5John Boyne is a great author. I definitely enjoyed this book despite being older than the actual target group. Some bits appeared quite slow to me, but the ending was absolutely stunning and made me glad to have picked up this book. It's safe to say that it's a retelling of sorts - but you'll have to read it yourself to find out.
Well this was all fantastical and adorable!I knew that it would be good because John Boyne is the author of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (WHICH IS THE SINGLE MOST DEPRESSING THING YOU WILL EVER READ. DO NOT APPROACH IT), but I wasn't expecting to be swept away by the story and characters as quickly as I was. This, without the twisty twist at the end, would still be a fantastic book about sadness and hardships but with a little whimsy thrown in, BUT THEN THERE WAS THE TWISTY TWIST and it just
