![]() Art cannot imagine why one of the others describes Myrtle as sweet, and obviously attractive. Myrtle is annoying, untalented, thick-headed, snobbish, and narrow-minded. I understand that siblings are often antagonistic Art doesn't like his older sister, Myrtle. I persisted only because some of the reviews on Amazon promised me that it got better. I definitely want to see more of his work.The problem with the book is that the first third was so misogynistic that I almost stopped reading it. ![]() The best part of the book, in my opinion, and easily worth five stars. ![]() The book is lavish with them on almost every page: they are wonderful as illustrations, extremely expressive, detailed, and worked beautifully into the layout of the page. Phillip Reeve has a terrific imagination and spins a rousing story (except for the point noted below.) I find it difficult to express how wonderful David Wyatt's illustrations were. I found this a mixture of the wonderful and the very off-putting. ![]()
