My Review of TangleWreck (continued)

Now, I will share a few of the reasons I thought Tanglewreck was well written: the book was very descriptive, one part that I thought was a wonderful description was when Silver, the main character, finds the minutes hand of the TimeKeeper, a clock that controls time and the universe.
Next, the similes and metaphors, although they were not very long, they were beautifully written nonetheless.
Last but not least, the characters: this accomplished author managed to create the most amazing characters. After a day of reading, I felt like I had known the characters all my life. My favorite character was definitely Sniveller, the rodent-like butler of evil Abel Darkwater.

My First Review of TangleWreck

I thought that Jeanette Winterson did an admirable job weaving together a stunning tale of Drama, Suspense, Action, and, especially, MYSTERY.
I would not actually rate this bokk, for, it did not keep me on the edge of my seat as other books have, but, nonetheless, I would understand if it would for other people...
I give this book an endless amount of praise, even though it was not quite my 'Cup of Tea'.
One thing I found truly exceptional was how complex time really is, and how Winterson managed to weave the very fabric of time into a marvelous story.
