Trotzdem hat mir dieses Buch viel Spaß gemacht! ( ) Overall this was a good book. I'd give it 4 out 5 stars. It ties into the origin story (The legend of Sleepy Hollow by Irving) quite well. It has Brom and Kat and even Ichabod is around. It revolves around Brom and Kat's grandchild. It's a whirlwind of a story and at first I wasn't sure what I thought, but the more I thought about it, the more I liked the story. Plus, that cover is BOMB. A delightful, spooky book that perfectly captures the isolated, superstitious character of one of literature’s most famous fictional towns, Sleepy Hollow. Henry provides the best of both worlds, building on the lore of Washington Irving’s work while adding a modern, fresh interpretation of the characters and story. Thoroughly enjoyable. I usually love Henry’s writing. The cover design is gorgeous. What started off really good seemed to lose its way 2/3’s through. It wasn’t that the ending didn’t make sense, it just wasn’t interesting. It was like a huge build up with little payoff. I would recommend reading ‘Lost Boy’ by her instead. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"Revisit the village of Sleepy Hollow and discover that the oldest legends can be the hungriest, in this atmospheric, terrifying new novel from the author of Alice and The Girl in Red. Everyone in Sleepy Hollow knows about the Horseman, but no one really believes in him. Not even Ben Van Brunt's grandfather, Brom Bones, who was there when it was said the Horseman chased the upstart Ichabod Crane out of town-or snuffed out Crane's life by throwing his own head from a fell steed. Brom says that's just legend, the village gossips talking. More than thirty years after those storied events, the village is a quiet place. Fourteen-year-old Ben loves to play "Sleepy Hollow Boys," reenacting the events Brom once lived through. But then Ben and a friend stumble across the headless body of a child in the woods near the village, and the sinister discovery makes Ben question everything the adults in Sleepy Hollow have ever said. Could the Horseman be real after all? Or does something even more sinister stalk the woods?"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
