The Last Unicorn

Rating:
Summary: It is simply Wonderful!
Review: I watched the cartoon adaption of the book when I was 8 years old. Ever since, the tale of the unicorn, all powerful but very lonely has enthralled me. Sometimes, unconsciously, I catch myself thinking back about the adventures of the magical beast. I can still rememebr vividly the scene where the unicorn confronts the Red Bull. I was pleasantly surprised when I found the book last year. While it is true that the price might appear hefty for what appears to be a simple fairy tale, it is worth every single cent. The tale remains as fresh and captivating today as it was 12 years ago. I loved it! I am now trying to get all my cousins to read it. You should give it a try too!

Summary: reading this book is like walking ina shower in early spring
Review: Every time I read this book it conquers both my mind and heart. I am astonished and amazed that such a mystic tale can be told in such a vivid way. I would really like to read more of that kind. Maybe it's that easy way of philosophy that turns Beagles story into finest artwork.

Summary: This book is awesome.
Review: This is one of the best books you'll ever read. . . I'm not exaggerating. It ranks up there w/ C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia. It's one of those books you can't put down, even though you know you'll be sorry you've finished it so fast. . . . And don't worry if you've already seen the movie, like I had. It's a wonderful book, whether you know the ending or not.

Summary: Excellent and deep
Review: "The Last Unicorn" by Beagle is a beautiful book. You will enjoy reading it and maybe you will discover it is worth reading again. And again. And every time you will discover something new in this deep and meaningful story which is an adventure tale as well as clear poetry. There are many funny episodes in the novel, but in fact it is also very sad when it shows how we all hopelessly dream about impossible and how cruel it is for us when the impossible comes true. This is a story about self-conciousness and about limitations of reality (even magical one). It shows that in each joy some sorrow is hidden. And fortunately no sorrow lasts forever.

Summary: Magical. A modern classic
Review: Give it to your adolescent, but read it yourself. Clever,cynical,moving, beautiful by turns. You are never too old for this book if you have kept your sense of wonder. Incidently, it is much better than the animated flick spinoff.

Summary: "...to have loved a unicorn."
Review: This is a beautiful, haunting book about a unicorn in search of her own kind, who have vanished with barely a trace. Words are not enough to describe the grace of this book, unless they are the fantastic words of Peter S. Beagle. I have been fascinated by this story ever since I saw the animated movie, but this book is beyond anything I have ever read.

Summary: Recommended for believers
Review: This is a book to pass down through generations. It tells the story of a unicorn's quest to find her people, locked in the depths of the sea by King Haggard. On her way she meets a clumsy magician, a smart-aleck outlaw, and a loyal prince. The characters vividly come to life with peronalities only Peter Beagle could create. A wonderful story
