I've read a couple of urban fantasy novels with evil vampires as the book's scary monster. Someone already mentioned Peterfreund's Rampant (which was actually very good) and there was Peter Ball's Horn (which I had to look up in order to remember the author and title, which speaks enough about the book, I think).
What age group would you suggest as appropriate for The Last Unicorn?
I'm about to really confuse myself: what do scary monsters as evil vampires have to do with unicorns? :)
Age group? Hell, I think as soon as a kid is able to sit down with a chapter book (and has the stamina to read something that's 200 pages long), they can pick this one up. And there's no age max either. I enjoyed this very much, even though I'm a grumpy cynic. :)
...that's not you confusing yourself, that's me doing three things at once and then neglecting to read over my comment before posting it. Evil unicorns as the monster. As opposed to vampires or werewolves or what have you. Bet that makes more sense now, hmm?
Heh, I read YA all the time so I'm not concerned with a max age. I have a six-year-old who we're reading with, though. She likes Roald Dahl, but Alice in Wonderland is at times difficult for her to grasp.
I haven't read Alice in Wonderland, so I can't compare. Do you read to her? If so, I bet reading THE LAST UNICORN would work well (says she who does not have children and therefore has no clue). :)
Oh my! You must read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass! They are fantastic and clever and bizarre and really just quite wonderful.
