"Arnold Goes To Town," by Ermaline Amanda - a Frostfrog book review


I began to read "Arnold Goes To Town" with a sense of eager anticpation, having read such glowing reviews in all the major literary journals. Yet, I finished it only with great difficulty and pain, for truly, "Arnold Goes To Town" is the worst, most boring, book I have ever read.

I hope never to read another one like it and, in fact, had I have had any inkling of just how horrid a read this book is, I would have flung myself in front of my electric train before I would have opened even the first page.

It is true that in the book, Arnold actually does go to town, but so what?

Who hasn't gone to town?

I go there myself sometimes.

My dog has gone to town and so have all the cats, each one of them, though, for the most part, they haven't been too pleased with the experience - Pistol being the lone exception for, truly, he does so love to ride in the car, which is the very vehicle we use to go to town.

This is a terrible book and I highly recommend it.
