maurarichardson1015 's review for:
A Children's Bible
by Lydia Millet
This was such an odd little read.
I loved the world that was built in so few pages. The dynamic between the children and their parents was so interesting and really brought back the more insane parts of childhood/youth in general.
I kind of jumped in not knowing much about the story and was so surprised with where it went. The setting was so comfy and almost nostalgic at times, and then it got real weird and uncomfy which was so interesting. The backdrop of climate disasters and that sense of impending and prolonged doom that no one, not even those who you traditionally look to for comfort and guidance, have the answers to or even know how to handle it themselves. It's like, that feeling you get when you realize your parents are just people who don't really know what they're doing and they're just faking it just like you are, that's what this book makes me feel. Very interesting read for sure!
