An uncomfortably realistic dystopia where Amazon reigns supreme. It doesn’t sound horrifying. But it is.
I don’t know if I would call this a good book. It’s certainly dated, but Mattie’s voice is distinctive, if not likeable. I probably won’t ever pick it up again, and you could probably get away with watching the John Wayne movie and having more fun. I do, however, recommend Donna Tartt’s afterward, which helped me see why some people do really love this book.
An older middle grade book about a boy who’s older brother dies in Iraq. It’s less about a family dealing with grief and more about a 13-year-old spending his summer falling in love and starting to figure out who he wants to be. It’s a bit meandering and low on plot, featuring more character introspection. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
It’s very possible that I am too dumb for this book. I just didn’t love it. The concept is unique and interesting, but it got a little too meta for me to track with and rambled on too long near the end. I’m glad I read it considering all the fuss I’ve heard about it, but it’s not a winner for me. #newyearwhodis
This was a challenging and complicated book. I can’t sum it up in a review. So I will say this: Morrison is a delight. Her writing is beautiful and thoughtful, never dehumanizing, never justifying, always examining. Her measured writing is a unique experience and I will never tire of her catalogue.
