![]() ![]() ![]() There’s a much greater differentiation between the characters: Moomintroll and Sniff, for example, emerge here as quite distinct personalities, something that was not evident in Flood. ![]() For a start, the division of the narrative into discrete chapters greatly assists with the pacing and Jansson has found her feet with the characters. Comet, though, is a much more assured story than Flood. Both books are therefore indelibly influenced by the turmoil through which Europe was still passing. Tove Jansson was already deeply involved with the writing of Comet in Moominland, her second book, when her first book ( The Moomins and the Great Flood, which I reviewed last week) was published at the end of World War Two. ![]()

It’s easy to understand why this “dumbing down” of Star Trek would offend the diehards (a group I count myself a member of), but this new, glossed-up style is precisely the reason the 2009 film became accessible to modern summer audiences and grossed $257.7 million domestically, by far the biggest gross of all Trek movies. There’s a bigger emphasis on action and humor in these films, and less on actual science and the exploration of strange, new worlds.
