Super fun quick read that reminded me that the next generation will inevitably hate us because of our complacency and hedonism facing the climate crisis. Oh well, bottoms up!

I will come back to it later. Not in the right frame of mind

Read this after it was put on the New York Times 5 best fiction reads of 2020. Definitely not my favorite book, but I get the underlying message. It’s a book that’s asking us to think about our impending doom in relation to global warming if we don’t change anything. Right now in life I just don’t want to go there and think too deeply about the message, isn’t a pandemic enough

A nice little read. I was disappointed by the lack of realistic action in the book. The children protagonists acted in such odd ways; however, I felt bolstered by one of them in particular: Jack. His young mind and attempt to solve his newfound Children’s Bible, deciphering God and the trinity as manifestations of nature and science were deeply intriguing. But the focus often devolved from Jack, and that was too bad
