| Feste
is hard to write
about, as almost everything the reader finds out about him is revealed
slowly and in bits, as if one is putting together a secret puzzle.
He is a jester, a fool, an all-purpose entertainer. However, he is
also trying to make the world a better place to live.
If I don't want to say too much about the man, there is a great deal I might say in praise of the author. First of all, the books are page-turners, always keeping one interested in what happens next. Although these books are not that type that are awash in period detail, I did not catch any mistakes. They are humorous, both because Feste has a smart-aleck mouth and because, every so often, the author slides in a reference to something in our 21st century lives that evokes a surprised laugh. Each book leaves the reader eager to find out what happens next in the life of this fool. |
