Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I don't leave many reviews but so many were great for this book (which led me to buy it) that I wanted to share a different perspective. I thought this book was strange. The point is kinda vague, the rhythm and rhyme are frustratingly inconsistent meaning about the time you think the writer has established a rhythm to the writing, it stops. This may not bother some people but as a writer/editor I found it a frustrating read. Sometimes it rhymed, sometimes it didn't, again, this frustrates me--either rhyme or don't. The meaning that people raved about I really didn't find. I thought the flute holes that form in his face were just kind of odd and not particularly inspiring or joyful as far as Christmas books go. I don't like leaving reviews, especially sub-par ones, but I wanted to share a different perspective. I hope this helps you in your Christmas book search. If you like the idea of this book, try "Snow Dog", it is similar in concept but a much better story.
