I feel about this book the same way I look at a Salvador Dalí painting - with a touch of awe, a giant dose of WtF, and a large, sinking stone in my belly of sadness and disgust. I would’ve rated this higher for so those reasons, except it felt too incomplete and rushed. There needed more development between the siblings. I hope the movie is better!
