Not Your Regular Magical Girl
2012/5/11
By Rachel A. Calabia
- (Amazon.com)
形式:ハードカバー
As an adult reader familiar with urban fantasy, Ted Naifeh's tale of an awkward young girl moving into an old uncle's creepy house may seem typical, if not downright cliche. The usual elements come into play within the first volume alone: the forbidden library full of spell books, the goblin market, the nemesis.
Thankfully, Courtney Crumrin is a plucky female lead. She's completely no-nonsense, and she's a twenty-first century child, despite feeling older than her years. She makes the older fantasy elements of her story seem fresh again. Disenchanted with her parents' stupidities and bullied by her peers, Courtney embarks on a tentative friendship with her mysterious granduncle, who occasionally saves her from her own mistakes.
Appropriate for younger readers, Courtney is probably a character many children can relate to and appreciate. She's not a Hermione Granger. She doesn't have the answers to anything beforehand. Yet she emerges from each scrape a wiser person, with each chapter seemingly a cautionary tale on messing what one does not comprehend. Courtney doesn't fully understand the magic she's dabbling in, and her uncle is not going to spoon-feed her any answers. Thus, her own solutions to her problems are amusing and imaginative. This volume is a solid start to a series that one should read to the kids.

A wonderful book

I've been a fan of Ted Naifeh's works for quite a few years now. I was really happy to see that the Courtney Crumrin books were being reissued in special hardcover editions in full color. The book looked great in black and white and looks great in color as well. Naifeh has a fairly distinctive art style that works very well for his stories.
The new ongoing Courtney Crumrin also looks very nice and should provide more material for future collections once the current line of reprints is completed.

Creepy and Fun Read

I hadn't read any of the Courtney Crumrin stories previously, but when I saw this new edition I jumped at the chance. Courtney's parents are so awesome - in that oh-my-god-they-are-clueless-butt-kissing-money-grubbing-idiots kind of way. So basically they are just a lot of fun to watch and read the things that come out of their mouths. However Courtney and her sass steal the show. This new house has its secrets, which are creepy and fantastic to read about, but it's more than the house that's got the paranormal aspect working for it. Courtney encounters weirdness in the forest between her new home and school and at another family's house while she is babysitting. There is more than just one type of paranormal creature in this story, which makes it even more entertaining. The only drawback for me is that I wish there was more character development with Courtney and that more interacting with her Great Uncle Aloysius had taken place.
