Çok komikti. . . Dave Barry PG Wodehouse değil
İlginç karakterlerle çok açık yürekli bir kitap.
I was a little confused by the concept at first, but once I started reading it, I really enjoyed it.
At first I thought this book was just too weird. Keeping the ages of the characters and different time periods straight was a lot of work. I eventually gave up on it and trying to understand the "sci-fi" aspect and just read the book. I did not like the writer's use of first person and setting out who was speaking by printing out the character's name, a colon, then the paragraph or chapter. It seemed too easy for me. I also thought the writing lacked a little emotion and authenticity. I liked the characters, but I didn't feel invested in them, if that makes any sense. All that said, I thought I was finishing the book just to see what was going to happen, how the author would pull all the strings together. Yet when it got to the final chapters, I found myself crying! Crying! It's a love story, an OK read, and strangely powerful in a quiet way. I probably won't read it again, but it was worth the time.
I am going to buy this book for myself, for my sister-in-law who has the first introverted child in the immediate family and is doing great with her, but is always open to new ideas and understanding her child better and a copy for the grandparents who really think their is something seriously wrong with the child, when there's not. There - that's the mild version of my she-bear protective aunt rant for her.
It's so sad how Margot misses seeing the Sun. What jerk classmates.
seemed a little contrived like a book ripped from the headlines as law and order, the tv series, does
Very sweet in an everything-turns-out-perfectly kind of way, however, that's not really the kind of books I prefer. Not that I want an unhappy ending but life doesn't wrap up everything with a nice little bow at the end.
