Lady Beelaa

I very rarely want to be this critical, but seriously: don't bother reading this book, and certainly don't bother paying for it. It will only take a couple of minutes to flick through, but it isn't worth the effort.

The English is not very good. There are grammatical errors, and much of it simply sounds wrong. This doesn't really help with immersion, and in some cases makes it hard to tell quite what the author intends. I don't want to expend effort guessing what an author might want to say, show more mentally correcting and filling in, just in order to read a story.

This is particularly true when the actual content is as flimsy as this. It's not even clear what the central metaphor is meant to be - something vaguely about changes in your life, maybe regrets, with a one-panel non-sequitur ending about love. Or maybe the whole thing is supposed to be about falling in love, and how obsessing and depressing it is until the loved one returns your affection? But it's not worth my trying to decide. It's both vague and trite, somehow.

On the plus side, the pictures are competent hand-painted pieces. If they were attached to an actual story, I'd probably like it. show less

This book is very different. Fall is a book about love. It is one of those books that keeps you guessing until the very last page. great read.
