Unfortunately, this was true to that pattern......The characters here are Thomas, the writer of Strangewood, his ex Emily, their son Nathan, and Emily's new boyfriend Joe.
Thomas feels the need to worry more about Emily than his son at some points......and Joe is willing to tolerate her abusive and dismissive behavior for the sake of being in Emilys presence. Emily's hypocrisy and self serving attitude makes her hard to stomache....example: she finds it perfectly acceptable to attack Thomas for going home to shower and not coming back soon enough....or coming to her home to talk and leaving Nathan alone at the hospital.....but its fine for her to stay overnight at Joe's. The focus on their dynamics and relationship issues distracted from the heart of the story......which should have been about Nathan and Strangewood.
Strangewood is Alice and Wonderland meets The thief of always and Travels to Oz....the inhabitants are delightful. I wish the book had primarily taken place here....you end up feeling as though you were hardly in Strangewood at all.....not acceptable for the books namesake. The ending was disappointing to say the least. This story could have been so much more..
All in all.....it was an ok read.....the parts that take place in Strangewood and the creative characters that reside there were the only saving grace.… (more)
