SRP Book Review #26
City of the Beasts by Isabel Allende
405 pages
Did you know that Isabel Allende writes YA literature? This book is a pick for my book club. I was expecting it to be like Alice Hoffman's young adult literature, which is like Alice Hoffman's other books, but without the sex and other adult themes. Instead, seemed more to me like more of a conventional young adult adventure story.
I thought it was a great YA book, though--if I worked with teens, I would definitely recommend it, because it seems like it would appeal to a wide variety of ages, and to boys as well as girls--most of it is told from the viewpoint of a 15 year old boy. It's an adventure story, but there are also a lot of more complex themes to think about, like environmentalism and spirituality.
