Todella vaikuttava kirja ekokatastrofista, vastuusta ja sukupolvien erosta. Rakastan lasten näkökulmasta kerrottuja kirjoja ja se yhdistettynä tähän ilmastonmuutoksen aiheuttamiin vitsauksiin muodostaa kokonaisuuden, joka ei jätä kylmäksi. Kirja on todella raju.

Täysiä tähtiä kirja ei kuitenkaan saa, koska välillä joitain kritiikkejä ja ajatelmia oli kirjoitettu ehkä vähän liiaksi auki. Vertauskuvallisuus ja kaoottisuus sopi kirjaan paljon paremmin.

Edit: Kirja jäi niin vahvasti pyörimään mieleen, että kävin nostamassa arviota!

oh my god oh my god. i give anything that makes me cry five stars. just the right amount of pretentious. extremely well written, amazing thoughts about god, characters i felt extremely connected to even though in the grand scheme of things you don’t get to know all of them that well. incredible. i think there are definitely some issues if i dig deeper into it but i have to abide by my cry = five stars rule until i’m more emotionally vulnerable i guess. finished it all in one sitting

This is a quiet horror. The kind of creepy, unsettling book that makes the reader reflect on themselves. Horrific because the horror elements are realistic, current and future problems we will face.

Pros:

• All-around well-crafted
• Interesting take on climate disaster
• Strong character development and establishment of POV 

Cons:

• A bit derivative of other authors and stories (general dystopia)
• I had trouble orienting myself in the setting for the first quarter or so
• Felt rushed towards the end
