Mandie’s Ideas
I all the time know that the second I decide up a ebook by Antti Tuomainen it will be one that can have me chuckling (not all the time at an applicable time) and The Beaver Concept is not any exception. The one draw back to this ebook is that it’s the final one within the sequence and the final time we get to see what Henri Koskinen will discover himself in the midst of while attempting to maintain his journey park open.
As ever the ebook opens in a approach that you simply gained’t rapidly neglect, but additionally let proper from the beginning why the title has been chosen. Simply as to why Henri is the place he’s turns into evident because the ebook progresses and it results in some fascinating encounters and one or two photographs I’m not certain I’ll fairly get out of my head, then once more I might count on nothing much less.
Henri is coping with fairly a couple of modifications in his private life too and they’re pulling him out of his consolation zone, but when there may be one factor that I’ve come to be taught and love about Henri is that regardless of all his awkwardness, he truly appears to thrive on it and sees every change as a problem that needs to be met head on.
There are some fascinating characters that despite the fact that they’re presupposed to be menacing one way or the other give off a barely comical vibe as Henri manages to outsmart them on a couple of event. He has definitely turn into extra able to coping with assaults on each him and the park however that can also be partly all the way down to devoted workers which are prepared to place their very own monetary stability on the road for a spot that they love.
I’ve beloved watching his relationship with Laura develop and what began out as a distrustful wariness between Henri and DI Osmala has developed into one thing akin to a respectful friendship which proves invaluable when issues get a bit harmful. I’m going to overlook my visits to the YouMeFunAdventure park however I feel Henri will probably be somebody I wont neglect in a rush and I look ahead to what Antti has in retailer for his readers subsequent.
