I bought it without even reading a plot summary and I think that it felt like a complete fever dream and I'm so glad I got to experience it in that way. It just keeps surprising you. You never know what's going to come next.
books I'd rate 6-stars if goodreads made it possible
Eva Baltazar's writing just drips liquid poetry off the page. It is sharp. It's also lyrical and packs such an emotional punch.
This is the real housewives of northeast London and I devoured it. The city of London almost appears like a character in this book in its own right.
This book is horrible at times, but it's also hilarious. It's dark, but it's also enlightening. And in that sense, I think that Pival Everett is faithful to the original tone of the book of Huckleberry Finn.
the ending I will never recover from. So, Jenny Urban, you are single-handedly responsible for my therapy bills because what the hell, Jenny, you tore my heart in two.
This feels like an out of body experience. I adore this book.
It's moving. It's memorable. It's full of yearning and melancholy, and it will make you want to weep, which is basically all I'm looking for in a book.
So, the one before is called Perafrost, and the one after is called Mammoth. I've read all three, and I will say I think this is the best one.
This is not just one of my best books of the year. This is one of the best books I have ever read. Ironically, I would die on that hill.
It's contemplative and deeply moving. And in turn, it makes you feel kind of proud of the planet and of being an inhabitant of planet Earth.
So, the one before is called Perafrost, and the one after is called Mammoth. I've read all three, and I will say I think this is the best one.
phenomenal, but also insane that this is a debut piece of fiction. It's just that good.
