Scribbleboy philip ridley5/20/2023 ![]() I also liked how he captured the feeling of helplessness children often experience, because ultimately they're not in charge of their life (and I thought a similar thing when I read The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman last month). It also had his trademark dialogue-heavy style of writing, which some people might find annoying but I thought was a really cool and quite different way of telling the story. All the characters I remembered as fun and quirky had become a bit annoying upon second reading.īut I still liked the slightly dystopian, slightly mad world Philip Ridley has created, where all these characters live side by side and no-one thinks it's particularly odd. Upon the reread I did like it, but it wasn't as amazing as I remembered (though to be fair, that was over a decade ago). This was a reread of a book I remember very fondly from my childhood, so I asked for my own copy of it for my birthday this year, and my family delivered. ![]()
