Children's books. If you think about the most famous children's books, they are usually dark and have evil characters. This book is no exception. Like Grimms fairy tales, this book seems too dark for children. But really, it isn't. Children have been reading these dark tales for such a long time. "Liesl & Po" is so lovely. I love the characters(especially their quirly names which made me instantly love them), the story(I love how old school it is, while making it something completely new-I mean, a girl locked in an attic by her evil stepmother? I love it.), and the writing(I can't help but adore Lauren Oliver; she writes so beautifully..it's not even normal.) I love how delightful this book is. It doesn't seem like a book that was written in the year 2011. It has a timeless feel to it. It has a warmth and magical quality to it. I love the drawings. And I LOVE the cover! It is beautiful! I don't actually own the book. I just got it off netgalley(my first netgalley read!) Ghosts. Evil Stepmother. Attic. Bundle. Will. Po. Alchemists. Magic. Love. It's just a lovely, old fashioned story. When it comes down to it, it's simply a beautiful story.
