giuliana_ferrari 's review for:

Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson
3.0
adventurous dark emotional inspiring sad fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
I'm clearly not the right audience for this book, and I still think young boys and girls would greatly take lessons from it. However, I wasn't a fan on how the story so quickly wrapped up and I felt a lot of development was missing. I've seen more detail and construction in even shorter novels. On and all I won't think too deep, it's a story about growing up and it's well done. Also wasn't a big fan on how fatphobic all the characters are; I know the book is a couple of decades old but it made me uncomfortable to read how all of the bad characters are described as flabby, giants, fat, etc.
