review 1: It was a pretty good book. It wasn't very deep, and not even comparable to books like Harry Potter. A few things just didn't make sense to me. For example, if Fortunata's dad lost his talent in shoemaking, and they went poor, why didn't he find a different job? Also, Fortunata and Leonato didn't spend that much time together before they fell in love. Oh, and not to mention the Saints. Thank the Saints, bless the Saints, curse the Saints... Overall, though, it was a good book.
review 2: It was my good fortune to pick this book from the new 2010-2011 book list! It is a delightful fairy tale written in a manner which soothed the senses. The story line was both absorbing and intriguing. Fortunato has a dear relationship with her Father who is a shoemaker. ... moreUnfortunate events put both of their lives in peril which is the impetus for her to embark on a journey bred of fantasy and lies. She falls into the role of a clever fortune teller with the life of her Father at stake. The setting and quest for love and fortune was reminiscent of a play more than a novel. It is soft and endearing and most suitable for a mid-summer night's dream. less
