A review by lolajoan
Tanglewreck by Jeanette Winterson

3.0

It's kind of strange to read a book for children written by Jeanette Winterson, after reading so many of her adult books. There's no sex or profanity, but the philosophy is still slightly skewed and weirdly canted to a postmodern sort of view. It relates strongly to other similar YA books with mysterious named houses and young adults who have lost their families and have a strange Quest To Go On, but it's somehow lightly mocking but also in homage to those works. I don't really know what to think of it. I liked it, but I'm not sure I'd recommend it?
