challenging dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.75

An accessible classic that in so few words covers important issues relating to self-image, family dynamics, isolation and the value we place on others. Not quite four stars as to understand these themes you need some context from the authors own lived experience.

J'ai adoré ! surtout parceque malgré que le livre soit plutôt court on peux l'enrichir a l'aide de théories, sur les origines et impact de cette métamorphose, ou de la façon de l'interpréter

This ripping my heart out and stomped on it. It broke me. I know the obvious themes in this reflect on ableism but it also makes me think of caretaking more broadly (including eldercare and dementia) and it was just so tragic. I love the protagonist, he was so lovable and I almost cried multiple times reading this.
