Book Reviews of THE 13 1/2 LIVES OF CAPTAIN BLUEBEAR
Book Review: A brilliant translation of a modern children's classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Captain Bluebear has long been a children's favourite in Germany, both on weekly television shows and in this book. Walter Moers has created a bear unlike any other, who has sailed the seven seas (or has he?) and seen and experienced many strange things. So, for example, this book begins with Captain Bluebear's first of 13 1/2 life segments, telling us all about his life among the Dwarf Pirates, and his hilarious tales work their way through all segments, including encounters with a contagious disease called "intelligence", angular sandstorms and vampires with a bad attitude culminating with his well-earned retirement. I can not recommend this book highly enough. It has worked a treat with all of my nephews and is ideal (both in content and in size - about 700 pages) for bed-time story reading. An absolute treat and sure to become a classic in this country as well!
