What a mix up! But also so interesting and engaging.
The first part is almost all light hearted,comic and satirical.....
Then a sad but still tongue in cheek part deals with young Caddles...
A short fairytale romance follows
And finally grim " reality " of sorts where two kinds of humans will not agree or even leave each other in peace....
It's not realistic in many ways of course, and the practical aspects of being a giant is hardly touched on , especially for the upper class and intelligent giants......yet ,sadly the people and their oddities,or uncaring selfish attitudes are very clear. It also is very fresh seeming and modern , only in two sections where house transport is mentioned are you reminded that this is set over a hundred years ago. The society divided theme never seemed more apt than in recent years....countless times have different groups of people been targeted and made to feel they should not exist.....
