Summary: I literally wept throught the entire book
Comment: This was a very difficult book to read. It probably won't have much impact on you if you haven't read Book of the Dun Cow first, but if you have, prepare to cry like a baby. The story picks up with the aftermath of the battle that ended the previous book. Unlike most fantasy novels where life goes back to normal, the Book of Sorrows deals seriously with the grim consequences. Into the midst of it comes a profound spiritual struggle - Chauntecleer's old enemy Wyrm uses uses the Rooster's sense of failure to lead him to embark on a course of action which will have disastrous consequences for all involved.
Rating: 2
Summary: NOT FOR CHILDREN
Comment:
Not for children, not for the weak hearted, not for the empathetic. This book pulls no punches and is more full of hurt and gut-wrenching violence than many others known for gratuitous violence.
It certainly is moving and leaves a lasting impression - I wish I hadn't read it because I can never erase the terrible images from my mind. I didn't find it uplifting, only disturbing, and I wish I had had someone to warn me before reading it.
Sorry but I'm giving it only 2 stars because, while the author's writing is superb, the rating should reflect that the content is not appropriate for everyone.
I strongly recommend reading the author's *wonderful* book, The Book of the Dun Cow, one of the best and most uplifting I have ever read.
Rating: 5
Summary: A Lifelong Treasure
Comment: No fictional tale had ever moved me to tears until I read The Book of Sorrows. Wangerin's poetic prose and eloquent storytelling abilities return in this sequel to The Book of the Dun Cow. Through these two stories I befriended Chauntecleer, Pertelote, and John Wesley Weasel. The final third of the story was one long weep, and in the end I felt as if I had lost a lifelong friend. My only regret is that there will be no more tales from this coop. The Book of Sorrows and The Book of the Dun Cow are on my list of best and favorite books I have had the pleasure to read.
