[rating = A]This is not just a children's book. It can certainly make you feel like a child again, but it has very universal messages about life. Peter is the star character, masterful in his domain of puerile activities and imagination. He goes out into the world with one fact and gains the knowledge of a plethora in a single day/experience. Cats, burglars, fights and words, beaches and first loves, bodily transplants and draws with vanishing cream. It is a very exciting book and easy to read.And behind all this human movement the ocean bobbed and folded and slid, for nothing could keep still, not people, not water, not time.I loved this reread of The Daydreamer just as much as the first, almost twenty years ago. There's something special and magical about revisiting books one loved as a child.It feels like digging up a treasure chest full of childhood memories you thought you had lost, but that's only half the beauty of it; the other half is being able to see the book in a new
Delightful, delicious stories that appeal equally to adults and kids. Ian McEwans young protagonist, Peter Fortune, has a daydreaming habitmuch the way most writers do or did in childhood. And every chapter is a daydreaming adventure. They are funny, moving, and impeccably written stories. The appeal for kids is obvious in experiences of magical daydreams becoming real. The appeal for adults is a little harder to articulate, but it has to do with experiencing a sweetness of childhood that one
precious. had a splendid night by myself reading this and being no less of a daydreamer than Peter...
A great way of playing with adjective and adverbs! Although it attracts me a lot at the beginning of every chapter, it bores me out in the middle of a new opening. I struggled a bit in understanding their unique way of using phrases. This book takes slightly longer time to finish compared to the other books I have read as i cannot concentrate well because it's not under my favorite categories.This short story is about a boy always enjoy to spend all of him time daydreaming. The people around him
New adventures in every chapter!It is about an eleven years old boy named Peter's imagination. Sometimes his imagination would be seemed as ridiculous but he is just eleven years old so they would be quite acceptable but believe me they are so funny. Swapping bodies with a cat, making his family vanish by rubbing the vanishing cream all over them, planning to catch the burglar by himself (like in the Home Alone movie) and swapping his body with his Aunt's child through his wild imagination. The
A collection of related stories/chapters, telling incidents from the life of a boy of 10 - 11. Peter is a daydreamer and thus the boundaries between fact and fiction are often intriguingly blurred. But 3 of the seven stories are body-swaps and you guess the gist of the one called Vanishing Cream from its title, so although the characters are quite good and the storytelling somewhat original, the stories themselves are not. The one called The Bully would work well as a standalone piece and could
