The Flight of the Shadow
George MacDonald
Leído por LibriVox Volunteers
A fantastical story of personal growth and a warning against the dangers of keeping secrets. This novel by George MacDonald is a deceptively easy read aimed to be accessible to teens, but the ideas will remain in your mind long afterwards. Beautifully written in the style of Gothic Novels of the nineteenth century, a story about relationships and redemption, secrets and confessions and an inspiring example of how to live in the light. - Summary by Beth Thomas (6 hr 32 min)

Reseñas
A LibriVox Listener
This is not my type of book, so I'm afraid that my review may not do it justice. It's very contemplative: the writer expresses every single thought that passes through the narrator's mind. the story, therefore, moves slowly. In fairness, some of the contemplations -- including the religious ones -- did cause me to assess my own worthiness as a human being. I suppose that is the intention of the book, but there is so much of it that it bogs down the story until about the 10th chapter. If you can hold out until then, the story picks up rapidly and becomes quite exciting. The readers are good. my favorite is Pelton. He actually saved the story for me. His reading is expressive without being overly dramatic.
Wholesome little drama

Pretty standard George MacDonald read - The best passages are easily within the first few chapters, dealing with childlike faith and in a godly father figure. Still, the latter romance is good and the final twist is satisfying (as long as you don't read the chapter names ahead of time).

Stunning! An insight to human relation, and the authour has an understanding of human nature, friendship, love and spiritual matters.
