![]() Oh, and for the majority of the 345 pages, everybody treats Will like his is a baby. ![]() This means that the reader doesn't care for him, and I couldn't give a rats ass weather he is saved or not. His first scene is him turning into the Goyl. The problem (one of trillions) is this: Will gets no page-time before the transformation. ![]() The plot of 'Reckless' is basically this: Will gets turned into a Goyl (a species of monsters made out of stone who are evil for the hell of it), and Jacob and Clara have to save him. Will and Clara, the couple who is 'head over heels desperately in love', never show any affection for each other. Im not even kidding, that is all the information we got on these characters. Getitgotitgood, now onto the story.Įditor: No, wait a second Corny, you need a bit more detail.Ĭornelia:: Really? Okay, ummm.Will and Clara met in a hospital and totally fell in love. ![]() I imagine Cornelia Funke's brainstorming of these characters was a little a lot like this:Ĭornelia:K, so, Jacob is the main character, Will is his brother and Clara is Will's girlfriend. I couldn't care less about what happens to them. There is absolutely no chemistry between them. Jacob, Will and Clara are possibly THE WORST leads in a novel I have ever read about. The main issue with 'Reckless' lies solely with the characters: Cornelia Funke plunges us right into the middle of the story, with no detail on the characters what-so-ever. ![]()
