I enjoyed this book; it was an easy read. It was a little different than most Christian books. I enjoyed this debut novel; writing was quite a change from his previous vocation (janitor). Good job, JJ.
I found the beginning quite confusing--it seemed like the plot jumped around and wasn't very clear. Once James and Leigh met and began dating, the plot smoothed out and the read became easier.
I'm glad James (the main character) had so many people in his life who believed in him and encouraged him to continue on. I thought his self-doubts were a bit overdone (I was getting tired of reading the sequence of he's up, no he's down, no he's up again.) though the trials of getting published was realistic (the rejections etc.) When his big break did come, it seemed too contrived. (His debut novel and out of the blue, he gets everything he wanted.) I think most writers will empathize with James's goals and his experience with the publishing world.… (plus d'informations)

The illustrations in this picture book are absolutely wonderful. Weepy, the dragon, is an endearing character. Jones effectively demonstrates the little dragon’s dilemma.
The theme is be yourself and find people who appreciate you as you are. The author, Hebert, effectively uses the structure of three to tell Weepy’s story.
There are a few spots where the language blogs down. It would benefit from some pruning. Excessive wordiness slows down the pace.
Children can identify with the main character and would care deeply for him. Since the dragon was repeatedly called a coward, I was hoping he would show courage in an unexpected way.
This is an enjoyable story (though not very original) which will generate good discussion.… (plus d'informations)
