this book made me realise i hate children's lit and always have, as a kid i pretty much went from picture story books to historical biographies and now i remember why. this was the single most stressful thing ive read since percy jackson. do kids need constant drama?? like. nothing in this every goes properly right. it genuinely made it hard to finish. so many times i physically cringed, never been so stressed reading. this was supposed to be my relaxing bedtime audiobook, nuh uh, not relaxing. i thought assad zaman's sweet voice would soothe me to sleep, it did, but the book itself kept me awake for ages. its bloody good though. i cried at the end, got super attached to all the characters. really good book if you won't freak out as much as me HAHA
i wish i knew an Al irl hes adorable. really hope py's dr who bedsheets in the 80s didnt feature the doctor then. i love the 5th and 6th doctors because theyre cheesy but cant respect anyone who genuinely thinks theyre cool shit. but yeah, this book is amazing and i really loved it but it also made me want to die. does have a way nicer ending than The Time Machine though, which was also stressful. maybe time travel just blows my mind yet im a nerd about it. dont time travel kids.
