The Last Unicorn - Peter S. Beagle, Peter S. Beagle
It was good but I expected a lot more from it.I really wanted to love this book. I have always been fascinated by unicorns since I was a little girl and to have been left feeling so deflated after reading this beloved classic was puzzling to say the least.While the descriptions were beautifully executed, I felt the book's writing dragged in way too many parts. I'll admit that I skipped a good portion of the songs. Most of the time I got lost in the narration. Way too many metaphors and similes makes for a very confusing read.There was hardly any character development. And to be honest, I didn't find myself liking any of them. Perhaps the Prince. The Unicorn, whom I expected to love, fell flat and much too indifferent for me to connect with her.It's meant to be a bittersweet 'fable' however the bitterness overlapped the sweetness in this particular case.
