Fortunately, I read this book!
HOW MUCH FUN AN HOUR CAN BE
Quite funny, entertaining and it's a really quick read.
What else can you ask?
I did it on an hour...
...And for that hour I had such wonderful time.
In an hour I was lost in time, meeting fantastic characters and laughing.
PERFECT COLLABORATIVE TEAM
If you decide to read it, keep in mind that it's a short story oriented for children, so please, don't harm the rating of this sweet book just because you were expecting "Neil Gaiman, the great mind behind Sandman and American Gods".
He is not here...
...BUT...
...You will find "Neil Gaiman, the wonderful dad that wrote a story to entertain for an hour to his children and the children of all the world."
Along with Neil Gaiman, in here you will find the delicious art of Scottie Young, talented artist famous for his work on the Marvel's graphic novel adaptations of the OZ books by L. Frank Baum, that he worked there with Eric Shanower. (By the way, you can check on my shelves of ŷ, you will find reviews of all those books too).
Gaiman and Young are a wonderful team where the words of Neil make a perfect amalgam to the drawings of Scottie.
I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE
Wacky characters along with time travel...
...wonderful combination!
I won't spoil anything (don't worry! Geez!), I just want to comment that if you ever been able to contain yourselves of reading aloud the lines of the wumpires (yes, you read correctly...wumpires), well I just can say that you have more selfcontrol than me!
Because I just have to say aloud those phrases with my best imitation of the expected accent!
Oh, yes, I had to do it. And I'm not ashamed of admit it!
Keep loyal to your wumpires! Be proud!
For an hour, Neil and Scottie take us to a funny wacky fantasy adventure, but at the end, they let you to decide if all was lie or not.
I chose to believe!
Oh, yes!...
...life is too short for not believing in fantasy at least for an hour.
If you can't being a kid again at least for an hour and laughing with a sweet story like this one, geez, please look for an empty grave and jump in there, you are already dead and nobody told you!
Oh, if you are of the ones that skip the final credits, well, you will miss something really funny. (Nope, I won't tell, it's not my fault that you were in such hurry to leave the book!)
Good thing that I never skip that, like in the movies, that if you are too eager to leave the theater and you can miss a final scene. (I wonder what all those people do, rushing out once the credits started to roll. Do they find a cure to the cancer? Solving the world hunger? Getting world peace? Nope, I don't think so, since we still have all those troubles)
So, getting back to the final credits, in this book, read them or you will miss the final joke.
If you don't get it, please do some memory tests, since you have to get it, you just read it less than hour ago!
Now, I leave, I have to go to the market for some milk!
