Description Concering Books The Book of Sorrows (Chauntecleer the Rooster #2)

This sequel to the award-winning The Book of the Dun Cow stands on its own as a powerful work of literature. In this absorbing, highly original fantasy, Chauntecleer, Pertelote, and the other familiar characters of the Coop struggle to piece together their shattered lives in the aftermath of the terrible conflict with the dreaded Wyrm. But their respite is short-lived: Into this struggling community, Wyrm again insinuates himself, with dire consequences for all. The reappearance of the dog Mundo Coni unveils a darker mystery yet -- and the threat of a final horror when evil yields up its most devastating secrets. Told by a master storyteller, The Book of Sorrows is a taught and spellbinding tale that immerses readers in a variety of adventures -- heroic, humorous, and touching -- moving inexorably toward the final confrontation that decides the fate of the characters and their world. No one who reads it will remain unmoved. It explores the value and goodness of existence, the darker side of reality, and qualities of love, kindness, courage, and hope that can transform even "this troublous existence." Here is fast-paced fantasy filled with richly drawn characters and gripping excitement, set against a colorful, fully realized world, and with depth of meaning that will draw readers back again and again to ponder the images long after the final battle is waged between the forces of life and death.

Criticize Regarding Books The Book of Sorrows (Chauntecleer the Rooster #2)

I didnt like this one as much as the first. To many tragedies and Chanticleer going bad. The sadness of evil affecting the leader and causing sadness and tragedy for the flock was too sad. Author again spins a wonderful tale and makes the animals human like and relatable, but to much I just didnt get.



This book is achingly, achingly beautiful and I'm grateful that I got to read it.

To this day, I'm still mildly baffled that this book was ever published. The first book in the series, Book of the Dun Cow, is a symbolic fantasy about a war between good and evil, which is finally won through great faith and sacrifice, at great cost. It's a book about how duty, love, and heroism just barely triumph over darkness. This sequel, on the other hand, is about how duty, love, and heroism are all as empty as pride or greed or wrath. Dun Cow guts its hero, the rooster Chanticleer, again

In Sorrows, certain memorable side characters that made a strong impression in the first book didn't make any appearances whatsoever. It was as if in the decade-long gap between Dun Cow and Sorrows, Wangerin completely forgot about those characters and didn't bother to skim through the first book before writing the

This is a hard book for me to review. Don't mind me if I take a minute to cry a little bit more, dry up, and get back to reviewing.This, the second installment in the trilogy of Chauntecleer the Rooster, improves on the first. Plotwise less occurs, it's slower moving, and there is little to celebrate at the end of the story.That said, the story is stronger. It has to be as it's telling the biggest story there is, attempting to encapsulate the biggest truths there are. The writing is even more
