SLEEPY

Okay, so today I’m going to talk about The Weight of All Things.

I love this book.

It’s INTERESTING! AH!

I mean, school books are normally okay at best.

Normally they just fail.Examples: Lord of the Flies, Across Five Aprils, Things Fall Apart

It’s really scary.

The book is actually well written and makes sense. The worse thing is that the descriptions get rambley.But you can just skim those parts…-couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh-

I almost wish the book was in first person just because then we’d get to see Nicolas’ thoughts.

Still, it’s good because the author doesn’t try and sugar coat anything.

People die and it’s depressing.I mean there’s no other way to say it and she doesn’t try and hide the deaths, instead she brings them right out into the open and makes us confront them and see the main characters feelings and how he deals with it.

Or denies it in the case with his mother.

I think the denial also makes him seem more real as a character because it brings forward his naive child like thoughts without making him seem immature.

Hope I reached the word minium...
