[font=Arial, sans-serif] Candy Quackenbush is growing up in Chickentown, Minnesota, yearning for more--which she finds, quite unexpectedly, when a man with eight heads appears from nowhere in the middle of the prairie, being chased by something really monstrous. And so begins Candy's epic adventure to the islands of the Abarat. Peopled by all manner of creatures, cultures, and customs, the islands should prove a fertile setting for the series that Barker is calling The Books of Abarat. Candy is an intelligent and likable heroine, and the many supporting characters are deftly drawn, both in words and in the full-color interior art that Barker has produced to give the story an extra dimension.
That's a taste of what it's about. I believe Clive Barker really out-did himself! The Islands of Abarat are pure genius!
Clive Barker is homosexual, and I think he compares himself to Two-toed Tom on the books. It doesn't bother me though, he still writes one son of a fairy tale.  [/font] _________________ <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/neepuh/gabhila-ban1.jpg">
