The Last Unicorn (1968)

Didn't grip me. Not so sure that I'll ever complete it.

This wasn't my cup of tea, parts of it I liked very much however and would have rated it at 2 and 1/2 stars if I could. ( )

It took too long to finally get around to this book. What fantastic language and imagery. I smiled at so many points! ( )

I watched the movie of this many times as a child, and I loved it so much and only recently learned that it was actually a book first, so my first instinct was to buy the book right away. All I can say is that they did an amazing job making that movie because it really stayed true to the book. I could see this movie playing out again in my head while reading this even though it has been many years since I watched the movie. I loved it and now want to go and rewatch the movie! It is about the last unicorn in all the world learning that she is the last and she sets out on a journey to find the others like her. On her way she makes unexpected friends and learns things that no other unicorn has ever or will ever learn. It is just such a great story! ( )

The art was gorgeous.

While I mistook this for the full book and was a bit disappointed, I'm still glad I read this. The art was amazing and absolutely stunning. A call back to the movie but also new.

I liked that this wasn't just the movie and incorporated elements that I assume are from the original story. It added a lot more depth.

Time to track down an ebook of the full story. ( )
