Ewa Anna Sosnowska
Ile razy się zastanawialiście, jak potoczyłoby się Wasze życie, gdybyście w którymkolwiek momencie podjęli inną decyzję? Asia, Maja, Łukasz i kilkunastu innych bohaterów znanych Wam z syjamskich serii postanowiło puścić wodze fantazji, czego efektem jest ten zbiór opowiadań. Pozwolili mi nawet sprawdzić kilka hipotez, które snułam przy pracy nad poszczególnymi tomami "Mai", "Kronik Lenny'ego" i "Magii miłości". Stąd też tytuł tej książki. "WHAT IF..." to nic innego niż "Co by było, gdyby...". Wersja anglojęzyczna jakoś bardziej mi (i tym wariatom) pasuje. Miłej lektury życzy Wam Ewa Anna Sosnowska - kronikarka bandy szaleńców. Co by było, gdyby...? Zapewne każdy człowiek chociaż raz zadał sobie to pytanie. W życiu nie tak łatwo jest poznać alternatywne scenariusze, jednak od czego ma się książki? Ewa Anna Sosnowska tym razem bawi się życiorysami bohaterów swoich syjamskich serii, wrzucając ich w całkiem nowe sytuacje i okoliczności, a nawet nadając im inne cechy charakteru. To prawdziwa gratka dla czytelników, którzy nigdy nie mają dość Lenny'ego czy Mai. A przy okazji - możliwość przekonania się, co by było, gdyby... Musicie to przeczytać! Mad Bartnicka A gdyby tak stworzyć wszystko na nowo, podjąć inną decyzję, pójść w inną stronę, spóźnić się na pociąg lub autobus? Bohaterowie "What if..." na własnej skórze przekonują się, jak Autorka pokierowałaby ich życiem. Ewelina Górowska, ewelina-czyta.blogspot.com
