So the Wind Won't Blow It All Away by Richard Brautigan
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
2.0
It was well written, and from the pov of a kid, which was well portrayed in the writing.
I also liked the descriptions of different things in the book, and even though it could sometimes feel long and without meaning, it gave a sense of child-like vibes, like how a kid wonders about things that for adults seems meaningless.
I did feel like the book didnt make sense in a way? By all the times it was talked about how he wanted to change that day and go into the burgershop instead, it felt like that was a big moment in the book. That was what the book was supposed to be about. But it only lasted like three pages when it really happened. I just didnt understand that. Also, it was cool how he wrote about it too, like it portrayed the trauma well, and the wondering why and regretting it. At the same time, for me, it just felt like really drawn out and it became sort of this thing that was repeated over and over, and it lost its meaning sort of.
Idk, it just felt like the book wasnt for me.
