Book Reviews of The Lost Thing
Book Review: A view to the future?
Summary: 5 Stars
We can certainly hope not. After reading it was interesting to go back through and have a look at some of the artwork - if it can be called that - around the boarders of the pages. Because I'm currently studying Physics and Mathematical Methods for my V.C.E., a lot of it made sense.But back to the actual story. Shaun Tan has put together an interesting look at life where government agencies seem to control each and every aspect of the citizen's life. We know of A Federal Department of... management, economics, tubes & pipes, odds & ends, censorship and information. The society is filled with all kinds of interesting buildings, where evry home has a 15-foot chimny, every intersection of pedestrian paths has traffic lights and where a concrete wall borders the beach.
And the cause is to fine a home for a lost thing (thus the title). I'd recommend this book to anyone who really wants to break free from the norm.
Just so you all know, I read this book, because for a Drama Examination I must base my characters around this book. I've certainly got an interesting task ahead of me.
