The Thirteen Clocks || frozen time in time frozen...

Pros: Seemingly one of a kind. Nothing like it would be written today.

My Interest... (Reply to this comment)
by coldsteel7
is officially piqued. With cryptic wordplay...I would bet Dianapinions would also like this one...she is Queen of the turned phrase. I have three books currently awaiting...I am going to write this one down so I don't forget.

hey there Victoria...

I always feel a little guilty publishing a review after reading one by another. Which is why I usually focus on 'firsties'.

But I have always had a love of Thurber and this one was impossible to resist after reading your excellent review and then finding our local library actually had a copy.


This just might get me started on a Thurber-reading jag . . .I wonder how many more the library has..??


Thanks for the read/rate/comment..!!

...a weird and wonderful tale?

You're right about having to actively engage with the story. I read it first really late at night and thought it was pretty trippy. It made a little more sense (and was a whole lot more fun) upon reading it when my brain was turned on.

Glad you got to try it too! Enjoyed reading your take on it very much.
