Without words I thought I could sit down and in a half hour be done with it. Several hours later I still hadn't finished. Without words you really have to spend time with each picture to make sure you are getting out of it what the author intended. A very good book indeed!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17840660880444131825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238346131297388886.post-87543677556583042292010-03-12T09:11:16.137-05:002010-03-12T09:11:16.137-05:00The Arrival is one of my favorite books EVER, and ...<i>The Arrival</i> is one of my favorite books EVER, and you've done a really nice job of explaining how the wordless format pulls you into the story. I read this for the first time soon after a major move to a new place and while my experience was certainly different than that of an immigrant, I saw a bit of my experience in those pages.

I might give this one a shot at some point because I think the idea of telling a story through pictures alone intrigues me.<br /><br />--Anna<br /><a href="http://diaryofaneccentric.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Diary of an Eccentric</a>Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046635675540466183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238346131297388886.post-81311764813441473592010-03-11T09:18:32.855-05:002010-03-11T09:18:32.855-05:00Hmmm.
