Rating: Summary: great story for children Review: THE LONELIEST MUSE is a cute story about several misfits finding a place to belong to, in a world that does not understand those differences that makes them special. Though not perfect in editing<which can always be corrected> it still teaches us a vital lesson, its ok to be different. I was appalled by Ms. Graingers lack of understanding, especially by a teacher, who critiques people for painting beyond the box. IGGY's use of contractions represents the doubts we all feel: can't, won't and couldn't. To accuse the writer as well as target his style on other book sites as well, shows that the educators need to be educated first before they can truly teach that which they learn. Hopefully Ms. Graingers class is allowed to paint outside the box, rather than in such a confined space. Hurray for differences. Maybe those who critique should attempt to take the step these brave writers do and allow others to read something they have written and maybe then they will understand or at least be more compassionate in their words. I look forward to reading more about THE LONELIEST MUSE as well as look forward to Ms. Graingers first book.

Rating: Summary: Not the best book for children Review: The story of MUSE is cute, a little simplistic and very much on the level of a young child, but sadly, the writing style is very overwrought, using very little punctuation and seemingly random rules of grammar. It is more like a high school free form writing assignment gone awry than an actual novel and the writer would do well with a strong editor. I don't think this is the best example of the type of writing we would like small children to encounter. It will at best be confusing and at worst lead to poor writing habits amongst the younger ones.
