A refreshing change from the books I usually prefer reading. The story hooked me in midway and I just couldn't wait to get to the end. The descriptive details felt a little overly complicated as I wasn't really able to conjure certain images in my head, or maybe that's just how the writer wanted it to be.
A student of mine asked me to review it for her, and as the genre of the book suggests, it's suitable for young adults or mid/high schoolers.
This book made me FEEL. It wouldn't leave my mind for the days that followed and I'm certain that the characters would remain at the back of my mind for a long, long time.
I LOVED those little fairytales adapted to the mindset of the protagonist. I would definitely recommend this book.
I would rate it a 4.5 cuz I'm a difficult person and very few books make it a 5 in my lists .
I believe everyone interested in understanding why we sleep should be reading this book. It helped me change certain perspectives, and while I may still struggle getting enough sleep, at least I have a better understanding of it now and will be striving harder to improving the quality of my sleep.
I also really liked the writing as the author makes an effort in breaking down hard to understand facts into analogies or simpler language
A hauntingly despairing tale of a family, of a culture, of an era that leaves the reader with desolate, empty feelings. I'm surprised the content/trigger warnings of this book aren't as as emphasised as certain other books, for I feel there is a need for it. The book left me with disgust and loathing for beings that scar the face of humanity.
