abinthebooks 's review for:
The Acorn People
by Ron Jones
My class read this a few weeks ago, and I still have VERY VERY STRONG feelings about this book, so this review is going to gut this book to the garbage can.
Now here is why I hate this book, and it’s awful!
It was written when offensive terms for disabled people were used. It made me cringe and become angry when we heard the words or phrases ‘handicapped’, or ‘can’t do it because their HANDICAPPED’. It made me mad and I wasn’t a fan.
I also think their was no dialogue that interested me long enough. We get it from Rons prospective, but I wasn’t interested. At all.
The book had a good idea, but the writing is awful. That’s the main part of why I hate this book. No offense to the author, but this book shouldn’t be published. Ron Johnson is just such an awful writer and everything made me cringe and cry in agony in my head.
The representation was fucking awful as well. I have a disabled person in my family and the lack of rep for these characters ASTOUNDED ME.
While yes the book sends a good message, I can’t look past all the problems I listed here.
Ok I’ll shut up now, but I hate this book lmaooo
