Deer Life

I think the story line was great, and it’s just the type of book that makes you feel happy. My commute takes forever, and Deer Life definitely made it a lot brighter. The idea is pretty cool, and the cover is gorgeous.

There’s a sort of musical quality to Ron’s writing style, which I think is pretty neat. When you think of fairy tales, the first thing that comes to mind is rhyming; but Deer Life doesn’t rhyme, not even once. It’s the way the words play out together and how its written that makes it all the more magical to read. It makes sense though, since Ron is a super successful, and super famous singer/songwriter. I mean, duh!

I just don’t know what it is with this book that makes it such a feel-good story. The characters are so charming, the adventure they have are exciting, and (again), the writing is easy and fun. I think every single one of us needs something to remind us of our childhood, and reading this fairy tale for adults is a great way in doing so. One of the main messages is if you work hard and work together, the impossible will become possible. As adults, I think we all need to remember this lesson, and apply it to our daily lives.

What an emotional journey. Content is appropriate for the age range and deals with a lot of complexities this age group will experience and be able to bond with.
