SRP Book Reviews #11-#16
The Griffin and Sabine books by Nick Bantock
Griffin and Sabine: An Extraordinary Correspondence 39 pages
Sabine's Notebook: In Which the Extraordinary Correspondence of Griffin and Sabine Continues 44 pages
The Golden Mean: In Which the Extraordinariy Correspondence of Griffin and Sabine Concludes 40 pages
The first three books of the trilogy introduce, but never really resolve the mystery of how Griffin and Sabine are connected. Sabine can see Griffin's art, but they don't seem to be able to exist in the same geographic location. The art is beautiful, and the books are a fun format. A complicating force is introduced in the last book, in the form of a third correspondent.
The Gryphon: In Which the Extraordinary Correspondence of Griffin and Sabine is Rediscovered 50 pages
Alexandria: In Which the Extraordianry Correspondence of Griffin and Sabine Unfolds 51 pages
The next two books introduce new characters, who are somehow connected to Griffin and Sabine, as well as each other. Things get more complicated, and it appears that Egyptian mythology and artifacts are involved.
The Morning Star: In Which the Extraordinary Correspondence of Griffin and Sabine is Illuminated 46 pages
"Illuminated?" Oh really? I guess I would have been happier with this book if I hadn't been expecting some sort of explanation or solution. The book is very pretty, but on crack. I think it all has something to do with Jungian psychology and the collective subconscious, and if I knew more about Egyptian symbolism I might have a better idea, but really, it's just too confusing.
