I like Liesl & Po. 
 ***** 
 This rating is very hard to give to Liesl & Po. First, i am obsessed with Oliver's beautiful writing. Second, she wrote it to cope with a dear friend's death (i hope i got that right, it was written in the acknowledgements page). Third, it's just hard because Lauren Oliver is a nice person in real life. But i want to be honest. there was nothing in it for me. There was no surge of emotions on my part. I might as well have been reading a newspaper because it was so monotonous. 
 I only liked the part where Po remembered his own name in the end. :) And of course, i like Mo. He's a sweet, dumb guy i want to be friends with. and yeah, the relation between the thief and that old bat of a woman was quite funny, too. 
 There was nothing special with the story. It was just okay for me. I am not looking for action scenes (Oliver's books seemed to lack them), but the characters just doesn't seem alive. they don't jump out of the pages like i expected from a fantasy children's book! 
 You need little imagination if you are to read Liesl & Po. I would gladly give away this book, but it was a christmas gift. a granted wish list. So i'll keep it. Perhaps my niece will like the illustrations. :)
