Summary: Zazoo is splendid!
Comment: The novel Zazoo by Richard Mosheris a beautiful drama. a young girl named Zazoo who is originally fom Vietnam is currntly living in France. It is soon after World War 2 and the Vietnam war. Her parrents were killed after accidentily trigering a small bomb. Zazoo's adoptive parent "Grand Pier" has been taking care of her ever since. They live a simple and poetic life full of love. Then one day a young man named Marius visits the lake near Zazoos house. He asks Zazoo an intreeging question, from which many more unfold. Falling deeper, and deeper, Zazoo finds out more about life, love, war, and past then she could have ever imagined.
This book was highly enjoyable. I especially enjoyed the part when Marius and Zazoo were watching Grand Pier peel an apple. That scene was filled to the brim with sensory details. I also liked how the author incorporated actual French aspects. My favorite part was whan Zazoo first met Marius. I did not apreciate how in the prologue it makes you believe that their are actual gosts in this story.
I highly recomend "Zazzoo" to anyone ten and up. The style and charactors are so developed it would be a shame not to add it to your "To do..." list.

Summary: A TOUCHING PERFORMANCE
Comment: If ever a story merited reading aloud it is "Zazoo," the poignant story of a young Vietnamese/French girl and her journey to self-understanding. Joanna Wyatt gives a touching performance as the voice of the narrator, 13-year-old Zazoo.
Born in Vietnam, Zazoo has lived most of her life in France, actually in Burgundy with her adoptive grandfather, Grand-Pierre. Her life is peaceful and serene; she has not questioned her past or Grand-Pierre's life before she came to live with him.
The tenor of her days changes when Marius, a 16-year-old French boy, bicycles into her small village. His queries lead Zazoo to think and to ask about the time when France was under the boot of the Nazis.
As multiple secrets are revealed we learn of a unique link between Marius and the village pharmacist. We also learn of Grand-Pierre's past, some of which he would not wish to be revealed.
"Zazoo," as it explores the years of war, is a rather painful story yet it is one buoyed by love, hope, and forgiveness.

Summary: Zazoo
Comment: This was a touching and inspiring book about an adopted Vietnamese girl living with and elderly man in France. After meeting a boy named Marius, her past and the past of her close ones begin to unfold. I loved reading her poetry and trying to guess what really happened to her in the past.
