I read it so fast the first time because I loved it, but I'm noticing much more this time around.

Every kid is different so it's hard to tell! <br /><br />Jeanne - Some books don't offer much on a second read, but this one really has for me. <br /><br />Enbrethiliel - This would be perfect for that! <br /><br />Cheryl - I love that he retold Kipling's famous story in such a unique way. <br /><br />Jenners - I think you'll like it! <br /><br />TBM - It was really similar.

Which, come to think of it, I think was fairly episodic too.<br /><br />I also love that Gaiman hasn't specified at all just what Silas is--but those little hints are there!Cheryl @ Tales of the Marveloushttp://marveloustales.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-25719100133576772132012-10-07T14:01:43.149-04:002012-10-07T14:01:43.149-04:00+JMJ+
