Maybe another time, it's not catching me right now I grew up loving the Artemis Fowl series, as a child and even now as an adult. With Highfire, I really didn't know what to expect, but I was not disappointed. Colfer created a whimsical and charming story based on a lonely, alcoholic dragon and a hooligan teenager, and honestly I wouldn't change a thing. Normally I would have been distracted by alternating POVs from three different characters, but Colfer did a phenomenal job seamlessly integrating their perspectives without disrupting the flow of the narration. I enjoyed the rough-around-the-edges look at a magical being stuck in a very much unmagical world, and I appreciated the pokes at issues in our society without it being shoved down our throats. Definitely would recommend! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML: From the New York Times bestselling author of the Artemis Fowl series comes a hilarious and high-octane adult novel about a vodka-drinking, Flashdance-loving dragon who lives an isolated life in the bayous of Louisianaâ??and the raucous adventures that ensue when he crosses paths with a fifteen-year-old troublemaker on the run from a crooked sheriff. A canny Cajun swamp rat, young Everett "Squib" Moreau does what he can to survive, trying not to break the heart of his saintly single mother. He's finally decided to work for a shady smugglerâ??but on his first night, he witnesses his boss murdered by a crooked constable. Regence Hooke is not just a dirty cop, he's a despicable human beingâ??who happens to want Squib's momma in the worst way. When Hooke goes after his hidden witness with a grenade launcher, Squib finds himself airlifted from certain death by...a dragon? The swamp can make strange bedfellows, and rather than be fried alive so the dragon can keep his secret, Squib strikes a deal with the scaly apex predator. He can act as his go-between (aka familiar)â??fetch his vodka, keep him company, etc.â??in exchange for protection from Hooke. Soon the three of them are careening headlong toward a combustible confrontation. There's about to be a fiery reckoning, in which either dragons finally go extinctâ??or Vern's glory days are back. A triumphant return to the genre-bending fantasy that Eoin Colfer is so well known for, Highfire is an effortlessly clever and relentlessly funny tour-de-force of Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
