shantastic 's review for:
Whale Talk
by Chris Crutcher
I loved this book. I'm starting to think that Chris Crutcher just can't write a bad book. It's also weird to think of his books as comfort reads, but I do. When I read one of his books, I feel like I'm in the mind of someone who actually gets it. His books are also realistic. Nothing ever wraps up in a tidy little bow, and I respect him for that. Plus, I love how he humanizes his villains. You never like them, but you understand them.
As someone who will be starting an internship working with survivors of domestic violence, a lot of the themes resonated strongly with me, and I think this book expresses the mindset of both survivors and perpeetrators in a way that feels genuine. Like I said, I get the sense that Chris Crutcher really gets it.
