" No Witchcraft For Sale "


Hi K!! ¬¬

Well, I've just finished reading this story this morning, so I kinda hold the idea...

The story wasn't really that good for me, personaly, I prefer action and intrigue; but it was entretaining. I noticed something strange with the narrator: it talked without many spaces (or interrumptions, if you prefer) and there was I point where I lost the sense of time. Events occured one after another and it didn't really gave the reader time to absorb all details and I could only draw quick conclusions. Plus, I think omiting to say the postures of the characters leaves us to the expectative. Also, I think the author missing to state the time-space relationship, or at least, mention it once!

Though, I liked the theme. Standing out to protect your culture. Yeah. I like people living and dying for their ideals. I don't like wars, though, just a formal white-gloved struggle.

About the characters, Gideon really gets the trophy for "the best response in bad English". jaja He was very smart, and knew how to subdue his appetites, overcoming the temptation for falling into the most basic human flaws (in this case, it's about greed I'm talking [because of the money and fame he was promised]).

And well, I may dare to say that both the Farquards and the doctor were kind of naive if they were expecting Gideon to fall for them instead. jajaja poor guys. Anyways, at least Gideon gives the doctor what he wants (the reason for the tales about black villagers in possession of more advanced knowledgement than theirs- not true!) and brings a smile for the Farquards and a funny thing for Teddy to remember.

Happy ending =P
