Loading... The golden mean: in which the extraordinary correspondence of Griffin &… (1993)by Nick Bantock
None. First read January 2005. ( )The third part of the trilogy brings Sabine in danger from a stranger who has come to experiment on her and Griffin's link and the two conspire to escape together. Another very inventive and aesthetically interesting epistolary story with intriguing art to match. This is the "conclusion" to the Griffin and Sabine story, which turns out to be as elusive as the rest of the story. The art is darker and, in my opinion even better in this installment, but I still wish that the overall story were a little more substantial. Final part of Griffin & Sabine trilogy. Griffin and Sabine, lovers through correspondence alone. Something in the universe appears to be keeping them apart, will they ever meet or will they be forced to suffer through a relationship based on letters alone? The conclusion to the original trilogy was a bit weak for me. First off, a new voice was introduced which unbalanced the pacing and mood of the letters. Secondly, the ending was a bit too sudden and open for my tastes. The book was still enjoyable, the novelty of reading someone else's letters has not grown stale and the artwork is still as intriguing and thought provoking as ever. A beautiful series. I found myself looking forward to each new postcard/letter and couldn't help but race through the final book in the trilogy. The ending wasn't at all what I was expecting...and I liked it! I look forward to reading Bantock's three follow-ups that were written a decade after the originals. no reviews | add a review
