The Orphan Master's Son by Adam Johnson
5.0
Wow. What a masterpiece. I'm so glad I challenged myself with this book. It was kind of hard to get through, like a book you might have to read for school, but totally worth it!
It's Charles Dickens+George Orwell+Anthony Doerr. AMAZING. Totally deserving of the Pulitzer. Just as the back of the book suggests, "Adam Johnson provides a riveting portrait of a world rife with hunger, corruption, and casual cruelty but also camaraderie, stolen moments of beauty, and love."
It might take me a few days to process all of the feelings and emotions I have from reading this.
