I've heard several Gone with the Wind critiques about Mammy's role and I have never once heard or thought about the actor's experience. According to the author's note that this was the goal to showcase her life and trails and this book def. accomplished this. This historical fiction book about Hattie Mcdaniel's life provides a bigger picture to the criticisms about this film's role and the culture of that time. Hattie had an uphill battle with sexism, racism, and typical hollywood.

A fast paced, light hearted - but dramatic - story about a simple girl and her dragon friends.

You get changed into a gross bug but you can't stop ruminating about how much you hate the grind.
Capitalism will ruin your life - but you'll have some money for yourself UNLESS your family is mooching off of you will also ruin your life. Both family and work do not care for you - and the family aspect become increasingly more devastating through the book. Gregor has worked for his family's overextending spending and life style, providing for 3 people, without ever thinking of them as insects. When our boy is transformed into a bug they completely dehumanize him. I exploded with rage when the father was "if only he could understand us" HE CAN you never once tried to understand him. Sweet Greggy-bug is always being misunderstood, and also perhaps misunderstanding his situations/relationships. - many themes about identity and obligation.
When I was reading this, there was a part where his new shell was too big for a door and he had to be pushed in. This detail changed my perspective on this book. I thought perhaps he had not been turned into a bug at all and that this could be about sudden disability. Unable to make money, different dietary needs, not having sufficient space for movement, being hidden away, the family waiting for him to just get better... on and on.

I'm not a fan of green lantern stories in DC and i'm also not a fan or noir mystery type novels, so when someone rec. this to me I was dragging my feet to start. When I did start reading this story I DID NOT put it down! I was compelled by the world building and thought the panel layout was excellent in telling this story as well. I was pleasantly surprised! Excellent book!

I cried and cried. I also live in the midwest and not too far from where this author lives, so she felt like a neighbor to me. I remember the polar vortex that had like -50 wind chill and the misery. It was so perfectly depicted with the winter, death, the frozen in time type of memory issues. The expressive panels and illustrations worked so well.
A morbid and thoughtful read.

Slim is a real one.
This is my first time reading this book, I'm well aware of the ending and it was still an unexpected gut punch. Steinbeck sets everything up in several meaningful aspects that really builds up the ending.
