Book review Summerland - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog

Book review Summerland - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog Michael Chabon is a writer with a talent for writing fantastic stories based squarely in everyday life and american popular culture. This was obvious in his masterpiece The amazing adventures of Kavalier and Clay which had its roots in the golden age of american comics, but it finds a new, wonderful expression in Summerland, which is a childrens book in the same way as the Harry Potter books this book can be enjoyed by anyone at any age. The story is a true adventure, in which a number of children and mythical beings must save the world from Coyote (the trickster god in american indian mythology). The major themes are (get this) baseball, indians and airships. And Chabon manages to create a story that is funny, believable, touching, exciting and a times very sad. Where the worlds of J.K. Rowlings and Philip Pullmans books are a little old fashioned, Chabons adventure is quite modern, giving this fairy tale a more up to date feel. This is an excellent book, especially for reading to someone, and I warmly recommend it. Heres a quote from the book. Thanks for visiting my blog.
