I think the dark depends of the reader. For some that would be too too dark, for others it would be okay...but that balance/choice is always difficult!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316104666482960522.post-52271309279854201022011-10-11T10:18:22.678-07:002011-10-11T10:18:22.678-07:00I really want to read this one!!

It was super interesting to hear Anne speak about why she chose to do this.<br /><br />The grimness of this particular weaving of Grimm even lures the adult me from it. I'm not much for blood and guts. But I'm intrigued by your review of it.Barbara Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547166495514562286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316104666482960522.post-61200764979468618312011-10-11T07:16:06.444-07:002011-10-11T07:16:06.444-07:00Oh, thanks so much for the warning!

I still want to read the book!<br /><br />My MMGM choice this week has a similarly gruesome scene. But in ISLAND'S END, it's the aftermath of the 2004 tsunami, not a fantasy scene. Don't know which is worse!Joanne R.

Just not sure how many MG readers would really be willing to stick with it.Kristen Wixtedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06270464973842125576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316104666482960522.post-182499215795884552011-10-11T03:21:12.034-07:002011-10-11T03:21:12.034-07:00Sounds like an awesome book.
