5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book, Great Stories, Dec 28 2002

Ce commentaire est de: The Daydreamer (Library Binding)

I love this book. It is one of my favorite books of all time. I got it years and years ago and haved loved it ever since. Peter daydreams about all sorts of things from his sister's dolls coming to life to turning into his cat and even a baby. It's a great book that you can read in one sitting. Each chapter is a different story, same characters, about Peter's daydreams. My favorite chapters are the ones where he turns into a cat and the one where his sister's dolls come to life and are evil. It's a charming book that anyone can love. ...This book is great for all ages. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great escape and not too Harry Potter!, May 23 2002

By

Angela Tomassetti - See all my reviews

This is definitely a good book for grown ups but still young enough to be appreciated by kids. I was reading it and friends tsk'ed and asked if it was just another "Harry Potter" book and I had to say it wasn't at all like those books. Not being a fan of the Potter books, I was almost offended at the comparison. Ian McEwan is a fantastic writer and brilliantly writes kids without losing his intelligent edge. I would definitely recommend this as a whimsical escape or just as a creative stimulus for anyone experiencing the sort of block that leaves one wondering just where imagination goes when we become adults?!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read-aloud and a classic!
I bought this book, thinking that my oldest daughter who is 11 would like to read it. When I got it, I read it before her and found it wonderfully funny and easy to relate to. Lisez davantage

5.0 out of 5 stars A great whimsical read for children and adults
I read this book aloud to my daughter, she could have read it herself, but I was intriqued by the premise and I enjoyed it as much as she did.
