A review by evanwrunyon
A Children's Bible by Lydia Millet

emotional funny mysterious reflective fast-paced

2.5

I enjoyed the prose and the premise of this book, but it really lost me in the second half with some confusing scenes and illogical plot points. The kids felt like characters from a Wes Anderson movie, worldly and more collected than the adults around them. I think the parents' extremely inattentive care echoes our poor stewardship of the planet for future generations. I like it all as a conceit, just didn't actually deliver as a story.
