Journal Entry 1 by Auglaise from -- Somewhere in London 🤷‍♀️ , Greater London United Kingdom on Tuesday, September 12, 2006
From the back:
'Weaveworld is the stuff of which classics are made. It begins with a carpet - a wondrous, magnificent carpet - into which a world has been woven. But as the carpet begins to unravel, Clive Barker takes us to places where we have seldom been in fiction - places terrifying and miraculous.'
This is a bit of a strange one, because it's not quite fantasy and it's not quite fiction. I enjoyed the book, but found it frusterating because I think that he could have written three or four books with the events and characters in this and they would have been a better, more complete picture of the characters and world.
I was really disappointed that things seemed to happen so quickly, and that I didn't get a chance to wallow, as it were, in the carpet-world. An enjoyable read, but I wish there was more!
