The Island of Dr. Libris by Chris GrabensteinMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I love Chris Grabenstein, but I did not love this book. I felt that the ending was too abrupt and that the change in the characters was trite and unrealistic.
Having said that I still gave it three stars because it has his humor, which I appreciate so much. The characters each had their own personality that was distinct from each other, which also makes it enjoyable to read. The classic book characters that came to life were also very enjoyable and believable both within the context of this book, and their own characterization as created.
This book falls under the newer genre called magical realism, which I am still not sure I am a fan of.
