Chargement... Outside the Spotlightpar Sophie Weeks
Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Frankly, I enjoyed the book, although it was a little hard at first to figure out where I was, but once I understood that we were talking about characters in different types of genre and the possibility of their lives living forever because they are part of a published book, it was easier to follow. I think now that I understand the book’s direction more, I shall read it again. Thanks for sharing this fantasy with us Sophie Weeks! Isabella, who stars in a French Christmas carol, lives in a land of all things Christmas: every song, story, poem, and legend about this holiday coexists in one place. However, after several centuries she's grown tired of her monotonous existence and decides to vacation in the land of Mystery, where she meets the famous Sherlock Holmes. There are some strange philosophical issues raised here, but suffice it to say that these characters know they are characters but they remain fairly autonomous nonetheless. Many writers talking about how their characters often will do things they don't expect, and this sort of takes that to the next level. Sherlock's presence is slightly gratuitous, but it remains a very fun story, especially delightful to anyone who's ever dabbled in writing fiction. ![]() Review: What a lovely novella to read! The characterizations give the reader a good look at what makes the characters behave as they do. The setting is crisp; although a bit like Jasper Fforde’s work, it does not weigh the reader down with monsters, materials, and machines that may or may not move the story forward. Sherlock Holms has very nearly the same ‘voice’ as he does in Author Conan Doyle’s works, although Watson’s is a bit shakier. The plot is well worked and the outcome is logical if not expected. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
In a world created by human ingenuity and dreams-the world of songs, stories and books-Isabella has lived in Christmas for over four hundred years. But when she seeks a vacation from the endless Christmas puddings and jingle bells, she discovers that the world of ideas is more dangerous than it seems. Given permission to visit the foreign genre of Mystery, Isabella experiences a shocking crime, one that threatens the very fabric of her society. With the help of Sherlock Holmes, she must find the murderer who is picking off literary characters one by one, threatening annihilation in a world where death is unimaginable-after all, a well told tale never dies. As the investigation grows ever more troubling and dangerous, Isabella must learn to trust both her heart and Baker Streets notoriously woman-hating sleuth.
