The “Shoe-Tying Guide” touted on the dust jacket is printed on the cover instead of on the endpapers, a design flaw that renders the guide virtually inaccessible to library users because most institutions affix the jacket to the book. Well-intentioned but ultimately lacking in kid appeal.

However dated, the ingenious puzzles and humor, especially in dialogue among Ruby and her peers, remain highlights. Still, slow pacing, frequent digressions, and unsentimental, bone-dry humor may challenge U.S. readers used to nonstop action and a straight plot throughline.

Although the hawk is depicted about to snatch up a grouse and is later shown crouched over it on the ground, the rending and tearing bits are left out of view. An idyllic picture of an ancient practice.

...Denmon typically depicts Central America as consistently dangerous and primitive and the U.S. as a place that has the “comforts that most of the world craves.” A facile narrative about haves traveling in a land of have-nots.

But it is almost certainly wrong to find any fault with Verducci’s book. THE CUBS WAY is a tale of joy, redemption, making the last out in the last inning of the last game of the year, and bringing a tidal wave of celebration across the Upper Midwest. It is the kind of story that only a Cardinals fan could hate.

Though Raicovich writes very specifically about her experience in viewing the work, the book is less about the work itself than about the nature of perception...A detailed observation of what it means to make a detailed observation.
