“Tick-tock.  Welcome to the Clock.”

Holy cow, this book.

At first, I thought this was just going to be a random fantasy novel, complete with monsters and magic.  And I was still willing to read it, because I wanted to know more about Lucy.

Okay, I also just wanted to finish a darned book.  Ya happy?

Anyway, while I don’t sit down and read it all in one sitting, I came pretty darn close.  At about a third of the way through, I actually had time to just sit and read, and I enjoyed the book so, so much.  I’m tempted to read it all over again!

Shall I?  Maybe not.  Perhaps I should wait until I read a different book, and use this as a treat.

I’m not going to go into more, because that may spoil the fun.  But I’ll leave you with a couple quotes, a poem, and a lyric that is flowing through my head as I write this.

“Hate is a knife without a handle.  You can’t cut something without cutting yourself.”

“Always be quiet when a heart is breaking.”

“We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams; —
World-losers and world-foresakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world forever, it seems.”
– Ode by Arthur O’Shaughnessy

“Come with me, and you’ll be
In a world of pure imagination…”

Enjoy this book!
