Kids of Appetite by David Arnold
4.0
Mr. David Arnold is good at putting different meanings to words and phrases. Sometimes I don’t understand what he meant, but that’s okay. This book reads like a teenager with so much to say but little time to do so. It fits the theme of the book entirely. Grief and “chapters” are somewhat intertwined in this book, because like books grief has its chapters. Unlike books grief doesn’t end, not really.
Favorite character? Baz, hands down. He’s not only straight to the point, he’s the character you want in a book like this. The author is right, Baz is like Dallas Winston, he’s so real that he’s scary. Scary good. There’s so much life and death and “chapters” in Baz’s story that he wants to write it down. Make a book out of it. He’s the character that does a lot in little time. I adore him. That takes a lot of seeing how precious time is.
Favorite quote: “..So why not do something? People usually sit back, shrug, and watch things happen. Awful things. I know this from experience. But I’m done shrugging. I’m done doing nothing.”
