Editorial : From Booklist *Starred Review* Moers, the German comic-book creator and novelist, follows up his acclaimed The City of Dreaming Books (2007) with this sequel, set about 200 years later. Bookholm, the fabulous city destroyed in the earlier tale, has been rebuilt. Optimus Yarnspinner, the dinosaur-like creature who dreamed of being a writer, is now a best-selling author, so popular in fact that he now dreams of nothing more than a bit of peace and quiet. Taking refuge in Lindworm Castle, he soon receives a troubling communication from an unknown individual, a message that sends him deep into the new Bookholm to find out if the evil Shadow King really has returned to wreak more havoc. Extremely difficult to sum up in a few words—like Jasper Fforde’s Thursday Next books—this one is full of literary allusions and wordplay, and it blurs the line between reality and fiction so much that such a line might as well not exist at all. In sum, the novel is a glorious, beautifully
It has been more than two hundred years since Bookholm was destroyed by a devastating fire, as told in Moers's The City of Dreaming Books. Hildegunst von Mythenmetz, hailed as Zamonia's greatest writer, is on vacation in Lindworm Castle when a disturbing message reaches him, and he must return to Bookholm to investigate a mystery. The magnificently rebuilt city has once again become a metropolis of storytelling and the book trade. Mythenmetz encounters old friends and new denizens of the city--and the shadowy "Invisible Theater." Astonishingly inventive, amusing, and engrossing, this is a captivating story from the wild imagination of Walter Moers.

My advice, get it from the library like I did, don't waste your money.. (Apparently Bernays did his own translation.) However, if you know German, his slip-ups actually give extra insight into his thinking. Montessori wrote is a very different experience than this one represents. Nowhere does Scripture ever claim that humanity gets a free pass from God's gentle, providential care over all things. I was disappointed with this study in comparing with others my Bible Study group has done. Brown Bear Brown Bear is my 2 year old son's favorite book. We want the best for our kids, and this book delivers. Readers will make what they will of the claims on both sides, but if nothing else, it's instructive to see how much more comfortable sceptics are at dishing out criticism than answering it.
