    <body><![CDATA[Overall, not bad, but I wasn't enthralled. <br/><br/>The boy/man living in the trees is a cool idea, and there were some creative bits about what the challenges and benefits of such a life would be.

It's unbelievably well-written for starters, head and shoulders above almost anything you're going to find in terms of sheer gorgeous sentences.<br/><br/>But in the end, it's one of those books by Calvino that are almost smug in their sati...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17221779">more...</a>]]></body>
