A Reading Vocation
"I Must Read, Read, and Read. It is my Vocation." - Thomas Merton
This is where I chronicle my reading life. I also blog about writing at Lacey's Late-night Editing.
Book 79/100: Snow White and the 77 Dwarfs by Davide Cali and Raphaelle Barbanegre
I'm going to let this conversation with my husband serve as my review:
Him: This book is stupid!
Me: Why is it stupid?
Him: It has no point! There's no moral.
Me: It does to have a point! The point is that doing housework for a bunch of men really sucks, and it's not a good deal even if it lets you hide from the witch.
Him: Well, yeah, but we don't see what happens to the dwarfs after she leaves. They don't LEARN anything. Like that maybe they should have appreciated her a little more.
It's a valid criticism. This book would've been better if the dwarfs realized how much they made Snow White's life suck.
