It Chooses You by Miranda July
3.0
So I haven't been able to finish books lately but I read this guy in a day. The pictures were pretty cool and one made me want a bullfrog... Yep.
However, I thought Miranda July was kind of judge-y. I mean, the people were just putting ad's in a paper; it was cool of them to let her show up with an entourage and take their pictures and have her interview them. The woman with all the animals went way out of her way to make July and her crew food and was going to show them some random animal but then July was like, ugh, it was so weird, she was too Bible this and Bible that. Well, you kind of committed to whatever crazy these people want to show you, so why get all freaked out and upset? I just thought it showed that Miranda July is someone who wants things to fit into her quirky world and when they get too skewed another way she chumps out. She came off as pretty rude in that story. At least to me.
The last story was really sweet, which she was building us up for it with the second to last one. I thought, oh, maybe I'll see the Future because at least that guy is cool. But I don't think so- I'm burnt out on her for the time being.
