tf this racial stereotype suddenly? when was this book written

bored and baffled

maybe would be better in print or maybe just with a more engaging narrator

but at this point i’m not sure about that

would be dropping this were it not for the fact that i want to do a reading challenge

why did i put this on my tbr!!!!!!!

what is happening!!!!!!!

absolutely breathtaking

as always i read the stuff on my tbr added years ago and im always going why was this on my tbr??? im still not seeing why right now.

if i had more time i would definitely sit and read more books but as i need hands free stuff… sigh. anyways not sure it’s doing it for me or anyone in audiobook.

ooooooh dear this is going to take me a loooong time.

This book is almost a hundred years older than it feels at times. There's something very old and creepy and mystical about. It's reminding me of a lot of other fairy stories I've read (including 1Q84), but it also reminds me of Steinbeck and Garcia-Marquez. Timmy Willy has to be the most unfortunate name for a female character, haha, but I do love a lot of the other names: Daily Alice Drinkwater, Smoky Barnable etc.

“He grew certain that it could only mean the End of the World. He waited for the still night to break apart in apocalypse, all the while knowing in his heart that it would not… That night he dreamt of Heaven: it was a dark amusement park, small and joyless, just an iron Ferris wheel turning in eternity and a glum arcade to amuse the faithful. He awoke relieved, and never after believed his prayers.”
