dark emotional funny sad slow-paced

3.5

Good book. Very sad but … what other book features long distance nut busting off the top of a castle? Never to be outdone in that sense. If I talk more about the sad parts of it I’ll cry, so I won’t.

emotional hopeful informative reflective sad slow-paced

3.5

Great writing and very detailed descriptions of life in poverty. I did find the ending to be a bit odd and lacking closure. I also found some of the details within this book to be unnecessary.
