__ani 's review for:
Bridge of Clay
by Markus Zusak
Je-sus Christ
I rarely write reviews but there are just some books that stick to you and refuse to let go. My edition of this book advertises it as “rowdy and joyous” and boy is it really so. But it’s also heartfelt and human, and messy, and slow, and fast, and so many more things that I did not expect when I picked it up. It would seem that Zusak is one of the authors who know how to grab hold of my heart and make it ache.
I loved this book, I loved the beautiful moments and the ugly moments and the slew of metaphors that threatened to drown me as I read. I loved the Dunbar boys and their messy love for each other. I loved the pets and most of all Achilles, he’s grand. I loved the pieces of the puzzle slowly coming together to reveal the full pictures, the details that eluded us in the beginning.
I don’t think this book is everyone’s cup of tea and it shouldn’t be. But to me it was and is important.
