Comments on: Review: The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, Alan Bradley http://medievalbookworm.com/reviews/review-the-sweetness-at-the-bottom-of-the-pie-alan-bradley/ Tue, 14 Mar 2017 15:02:17 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.41 By: jenn http://medievalbookworm.com/reviews/review-the-sweetness-at-the-bottom-of-the-pie-alan-bradley/#comment-8195 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:01:04 +0000 http://chikune.com/blog/?p=1315#comment-8195 I love mysteries, and of course, there were parts of this that bothered me. However, Flavia was great. Just because she loved chemistry and is a bit tomboyish certainly doesn’t mean she can’t be a girl. For that time period, especially, children were a bit more free (particularly when the mother was out of the picture) to explore the things that interested them. She is intrepid and curious. I liked that about her and found it refreshing to have such a protagonist.

I just finished it and I loved it. As for the name change, I think the victim was using an alias and that may be why there was some confusion about his name? I can see why some people might not like Flavia, but I loved her being a chemistry lover myself!

I think I’ll take your word for it and skip this one.

It sounds like the protagonist may have been a bit too precocious for my liking as well.

I loved Flavia – although I agree she does seem a little bit old for her age – but I think my 11-year-old self would have gotten along with her like gangbusters.

Hopefully they changed the name of a victim to just one in the final version.

I passed up a chance to get it the other day, deciding if I do, I’ll wait until it is out in paperback. It does sound good though.

As a genre, it just really doesn’t appeal to me. But like you, I’m sure I would dig the “old-fashioned British feel of the book” — that’s awesome! Of course, all you have to do is shout “BRITISH!” and I’m in. :)
