It's an ok book, really, but I was a bit disappointed. I had thought it was a kind of Gaiman-esque novel, but it wasn't. The book has a sort of forced and stilted feel to it. It seems like Marzi is trying too hard to do something he can't quite manage. And there were way too many similies. WAY too many. At one point I counted five weird similies that made no sense at all, in the space of a page. It might have something to do with the translation, but I doubt it. They were seriously distracting.Ordinarily when I choose a book from the library, or anywhere else for that matter, I do a little research first. Like most people, I look at the cover. Does is grab my attention? Does it fit my mood? Then I go to the back of the book. Does it sound interesting? Is there an actual plot, or does it just seem like fluffy romance with no "meat"? Then I go to Goodreads for a rating. Sometimes, I admit to reading/skimming a review or two, but generally I try to refrain from doing so. I like to form
Great story, especially if you love London ;)
Traversing London via rooftop has become second nature for seventeen year old David Pettyfer. Whats not second nature? Chancing across a beautiful girl in distress on those rooftops who claims that someone has cut out her heart and not in the metaphorical sense. What she, this girl named Heaven, suggests is surely impossible, and David is convinced that she must be crazy, while also recognizing that she is obviously traumatized, vulnerable and in great need of his help. Agreeing to help her to
3.5 stars. The night that Heaven lost her heart was cold and moonless. But the blade that sliced it out was warm with her dark blood. Forlorn, bewildered and throbbing fearfully, the heart was mirrored in the curved, silvery knife. Heaven by Cristoph Marzi is a very unusual and refreshing modern day fairy tale. It was originally published in German in 2009, then translated to English and published by Orchard Books in 2012. If theres one thing I love about Orchard, its that theyre not afraid to
Interesting , different and kinda gripping story. For sure I didn't read something like this before. Light read . Really enjoyed this book.
This was completely OUT THERE.What do I mean by that? WELL, it's just, gobsmacking. It's nothing like I've ever read before. The idea, plot, STORY was one of a kind, unique in the fact that the concept is so original. I enjoyed this it was new, unpredictable and FRESH. I loved and I mean LOVED the ending. The ending the crucial part of a story for me. The book can be amazing but if the ending doesn't meet my exoectations the book may as well be terrible.I had one big cheesy monster grin on my
