I liked this Newbery winner, but I have to admit that I felt a little restless while reading it. I kept wishing I could skip to the end, but maybe that was a little bit more about the situation of our world right now instead of the fault of the book. I became very interested in learning about Korean pottery while reading this, and I did look up the Thousand Cranes vase to see what this book was all based on. It is fascinating how much work these artists, hundreds of years ago, put into their art, and so amazing to learn about how they did it. I liked the story of Tree-Ear as well, and was impressed with him as a character. I think this was a great book that definitely deserved the Newbery award.
