Pew by Catherine Lacey
5.0

Pew is an extraordinary tale of a human that is found in a church. Sleeping. Later, a family finds them, feeds them, and some would say “claim” them as their own. As time increases, the town is wary and even suspicious as they learn nothing about this strange human. Throughout this tale it makes you question humanity, morals, sanity, christianity, and sometimes even yourself. As I read this, I kept getting hooked by each word that was spoken to me, my thoughts flew from page to page as I flew through them. In the span of three days – this book was in the back of my mind, and I even had to force myself from not picking it up to do my other tasks at hand. Catherine Lacey makes you question everything you have ever known as the letters sing a beautiful melody. At some point I wanted to hug Pew and other times I saw Pew as myself – strange, isn’t it? How can a character resonate with you so much or nothing at all? Strange.
