![]() ![]() ![]() Oh, and I'll add in Lonna Bowstripe.Įven though I don't remember too much about Triss, I remember it being sorta meh. This book totally let me down because I thought it would be about the original Loamhedge Abbey, not whatever THIS one's supposed to be about, the "siege" over Redwall Abbey was just pitiful, and worst of all it had one of the stupidest plot twists in Redwall history: the heroes traveled hundreds of miles to get to Loamhedge to find the cure for wheelchair hare's disability to not be able to walk, find the cure to be nonexistent, get the 2 out of the 3 best characters in the book to die, they write a poem about willpower (which is admittedly really inspiring), and that gives wheelchair hare's walking back ! What the Heck? I know its Fiction, but I know Jacques wouldn't of written something that makes that little sense!!! This one sucks, except for Flinky, Brag, and Saro. There are only 3 characters I have ANY interest for at all: Flinky (who is the world's sexiest Irish stoat!), and Bragoon and Sarobando Who both DIE saving the worthless undeveloped skin piles (who survive!) called Springald, Fenna, and Horty (who is kinda OK). And what's weird is that I seem to be the only person who hates it, because it is the lamest, most boring, most poorly made book Jacques has EVER made. I never thought I would EVER have say this about a Redwall book, but this book is miserable. ![]()

In contrast, his floating bookshop is his ‘literary apothecary’, where he prescribes books for all kinds of ailments of the heart, mind, and soul for his customers. The story begins with Jean Perdu living in a quirky apartment building in Paris, going about his daily routine, which mostly consists of a regimented adherence to certain ways of doing things, to avoid any depth of feeling and emotional reaction. There are some extremely philosophical quotable paragraphs and sentences, some that have become amongst my favourite literary quotes. I realise that the English translation is not the same experience as reading the book in its native language (French, of course), but the translated language is beautiful. ![]() It has characters you can root for, an undeniably bookish theme with Jean Perdu’s wonderful book apothecary on a barge moored in the Seine, and enough depth and emotional wisdom to offset the potential twee-ness of the story. The Little Paris Bookshop has everything I like in a book. ![]() |
