Olivia's Books, Quotes and Opinions

Exactly like I wished my next de-Lint-book to be: Urban fantasy with strong and likable heroines, a great developing friendship between completely different characters, love, fairies and other dangerous creatures, mistakes, perfect scenes that beg to be reread ... When I finished "The Blue Girl" in 2007 I set out examining de Lint's work in the hope to find another story as great. The summaries of his earlier books shew plots that took place mainly in dreamworlds and Native American settings. Therefore I hesitated a long time. And now I was given (Tataaa!) "Little Grrl Lost!" Elizabeth (Tetty) Wood, the Six-Inch-Little living in T.J.'s house between the walls - and walking out on her 'rents - is really like a contemporary Borrower with a punk attitude. Her meeting recently-moved "Big" "Goody-Two-Shoes" T.J., who decides not to hate her parents for what they have done to her life and rather to get on well with everybody in her family, proves to be a pleasantly intoxicating mixture. Maybe I will discover even more by de Lint that suits my taste. Why not?
