But the descriptions of the ships? The endless passages relating to the technical details? Ain't going there, ma. <BR/><BR/>In honesty, I don't think this is really a children's or even YA title. Even if a kid did get something out of it, the bulk of the book requires at least a working knowledge of British history (not to say interest). I'd still think it fabulous if it did win something, though.fusenumber8https://www.blogger.com/profile/16216979020263363698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15089389.post-3332596433526727492007-04-25T07:19:00.000-04:002007-04-25T07:19:00.000-04:00I love the whaling portions of Moby Dick!

These days it's the carefully mythologized plot I find tiresome -- but Melville had seen men stnding ankle deep in blubber on a whale lashed to the ship while sharkes snapped and growled around them.ramshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06197775203594297901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15089389.post-55836034536701136362007-04-25T04:53:00.000-04:002007-04-25T04:53:00.000-04:00Also, for anyone interested you can see some of th...Also, for anyone interested you can see some of the panels here:http://www.bryan-talbot.com/alice/<BR/>(scroll down for the links to the pages).<BR/><BR/>The "Gad Sir!

I have to admit that the more I read it the more I felt that I had no clue how to write about it. But you managed to --- which is why you like reviewing and I don't!<BR/><BR/>Do you think it fits into any children's lit or YA places? At first I thought so, but it is so dense and so specific to the place and person that I no longer know. Is it worth considering for Sibert, Printz, or BBYA?Monica Edingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03924540264341924291noreply@blogger.com
