Phaedra Weldon

Weave-World
By Clive Barker

Clive has always been one of my favorite authors and this book is one of the main reasons. I have read a few books of his lately that lacked what you would expect from an author of his stature. This book however, delivers. Where to start. 1) Characters. Each character has and owns their own identity. This list of characters is no small list. Every new chapter seemed like I was exclaiming the same thing. “Oh yes, I forgot about that person.” Some many of them you cheer for and just as equally some you loath and despise. 2) The depth of the story. From where the story starts and where it ends are light years apart. The inner jacket only gives you a small taste of where the book takes you. The breadth of Clive’s imagination seems to be endless. 3) Readable. The story is broken down into short chapters that make it easy to read and understand. It also makes it easy to stop and pick up later during a busy life.
