    <![CDATA[&quot;A bluebear has twenty-seven lives. I shall recount thirteen and a half of them in this book but keep quiet about the rest,&quot; says the narrator of Walter Moers’s epic adventure.  &quot;What about the Minipirates?  What about the Hobgoblins, the Spiderwitch, the Babbling Billows, the Troglotroll, the Mountain Maggot…Mine is a tale of mortal danger and eternal love, of hair’s breadth, last-minute escapes.&quot;  Welcome to the fantastic world of Zamonia, populated by all manner of extraordinary characters. It’s a land of imaginative lunacy and supreme adventure, wicked satire and epic fantasy, all mixed together, turned on its head, and lavishly illustrated by the author.     <p>The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear is playful enough for young adult readers, yet as intricate and engaging as any work of literary fiction; it has the plot of a novel and the spontaneity and humor of a vintage comic book.  The fast-growing cult of Zamonia will given a boost by the simultaneous release of Overlook’s hardcover of Walter Moers’s new book set in Zamonia, Rumo.</p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[A quick, entertaining, and funny read.  I loved this book!  I kept it with me constantly - in the car, in my purse, beside my pillow, and on the kitchen counter while I washed dishes.  I could sate my appetite for literature in a page or two and lose nothing of the momentum if I had to abruptly stop...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40892376">more...</a>]]></body>
