A review by lindyvega
Underdog by Markus Zusak

3.0

This is actually kind of a fascinating read if you, like me, love The Book Thief and think it's a heartbreaking work of staggering genius. Reading the Underdog trilogy is sort of like excavating ancient ruins to discover how, say, the Romans became the Romans, except for readers.

(I totally acknowledge that much or all of that analogy may be anthropologically imprecise. I have nothing to say in my own defense on that score).

P.S. I can't believe I just had to select 2014 on the pull down menu.
