Howl

Esse livro foi uma jornada. Acompanhar um garoto traumatizado obrigado a mudar de cidade e deixar a vida pra trás, se agarrando a tudo que pode e perdendo uma coisa de cada vez, e tudo parece só piorar, com um monstro à espreita. E na especialidade do Shaun, talvez os monstros sejam os traumas que fizemos pelo caminho.

“But I could still help him. I could tell him that I understood what he was going through. I could tell him that he wasn't to blame for what they did to him. I could tell him that trauma has gravity that will constantly try to tug you backward, but that if you keep moving forward, eventually its hold will weaken. Not completely, there remained moments when a noise triggered those memories. But I didn't have to be there alone.”
