Book Reviews of Winkie
Book Review: A sweet and unique book, though not a masterpeice
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a wonderful and sweet book. The author tells the story in a moving and unique way, though it is not especially well-written. The book is about a teddybear who after serving generations of children decides to leave his boring place on a shelf to live life as a real bear in the woods. There he for the first time experiences real love, but before long it is taken away from him, and he is soon thereafter arrested and accused of acts of terrorism. The book then follows the court case and the bear's experiences in prison and in court. All in all it is a nice fairy tale for adults, with unusual but strangely suiting specks of the transcendental and supernatural.
