A Day in the Life of a Raindrop

This book was so hard to finish, it was just so bad. The first page starts pretty well, seeing a drop of water fall slowly with an umbrella, with this text: “If I were a raindrop, where would I fall? Would it be on a daffodil, a cat or a wall?”.

I was expecting to learn about the cycle of water, or how useful water is for people on Earth. But instead, it was a very scattered narration of a raindrop falling here and there, as explained: “From Heaven to Earth just as God planned. Nothing to do with the desires of man”, The book seems to be about enjoying this ‘gift', and that was pretty much it.

The book also portrays “the whole human race” as a bunch of young white persons only, and very weird depiction of a kid waiting for a drop to jump down his mouth, with this text: “Taste my sweetness, swallow my life and know that my trip was a pure delight”. In the end, it's a very creepy and weird book to read.

Thank you NetGalley and DUNN Publishing for providing me with a free digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
