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

4.0

This book is utterly baffling in parts, and such a fun read. The children are disgusted by the adults and the selfishness, laziness and decomposition they represent. They’re on their own and they know it. I loved the subtle and not so subtle metaphors embedded throughout this cautionary tale - which isn’t far from reality on our current trajectory. For me, this novella succeeds as an allegory and in its writing style and I loved it!
