Zuleeza's Reviews > Kind of a Big Deal

Goodness, how long has it been. I even forgot my GR password. Anyway, I went to this book blindly. Found it for free on the roadside, never read any of Shannon Hale's other books and needless to say, can't remember the last time I actually finished a physical book (I want to blame it on motherhood but I know other mothers who do have time to read. Oh well).

I guess it's nice to start with such a light-hearted book after so long? No matter how juvenile the book sounds I could tell that it was written by someone who has write a lot in this genre, that this is her territory. They are a few heavy themes like child negligence and gender identity but they were dealt in such a way that keeps the tone of the book light.

The beginning of the book was a pain to go though but I flew the last hundred pages. Didn't expect it to go to that direction but uh...it did so that was awkward.
