Its tough to remember as an adult that as kids we were looking for something different than what we are now. I liked how you worded your review.

It seems to be viewed in poor light these days; almost the worst thing one can say about fantasy or science fiction is that it is allegorical. I think the reason might lie in fact that -- regardless of a writer's agenda, politics, or religion -- allegory is used clumsily and like a bludgeon. However, when used well, allegory can result in some wonderful stories.Keanan Brandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12638962927055276969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656035854180770700.post-51270305158258345622009-03-18T06:53:00.000-05:002009-03-18T06:53:00.000-05:00I think this story has appeal to adults too(At lea...I think this story has appeal to adults too(At least for this one).
