5.0 out of 5 stars
Highly recommended not just for kids, but for all ages,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: You Can't Read This: Forbidden Books, Lost Writing, Mistranslations, and Codes (Hardcover)
Where ever people read there are tales of the magic and power of their reading: Val Ross charts these stories in YOU CAN'T READ THIS: FORBIDDEN BOOKS, LOST WRITING, MISTRANSLATIONS AND CODES. While it's written for kids ages 10 and older, it's reviewed here because its far-reaching survey of different kinds of reading, secret writing, destroyed libraries, and censorship have plenty of insights on the power of the written word: a power many an adult should be well aware of. A fascinating survey of the texts which contain power, and how they translate it, evolves in a book highly recommended not just for kids, but for all ages.
