Book Reviews of The Freddie Stories: With the Great Marlys! and Sister Maybonne
Book Review: Somewhat of a disappointment
Summary: 2 Stars
Being a major Lynda Barry fan, I looked forward to her first new book to be published in some time. Sadly to say, the book does not meet my expectations. The illustrations are as wonderful as ever; the storyline has wonderful possibilities; but half-way through the book, I wanted to throw it against the wall! The main character (Freddie) begins speaking in some type of 'wierd-speak' which actually caused me to look ahead in the book just to see when he would stop! This 'baba-baby' talk severely interrupts the flow of the story. I also noticed that the text of the story is, for some reason, much larger than in the past, and limits the size of the drawings to sometimes no more than the bottom third of the panel. I will re-read the book to see if I missed something.
