I’m already an atheist, but this book really drives it home how awful religion is when sexual predators are constantly protected by the church who is only worried about their reputation

I can’t help but laugh at this:
‘Jesus Christ,’ I said, sitting back, a hand to my forehead in astonishment.
‘Not him, no. The next rung down.’

In all seriousness, it’s no wonder the church moves around pedophiles only to have to move them again because they’re pedophiles.

Just the fascist Republikkkan party in charge of destroying the US

Again, there’s a lot to unpack here

Religion always has an undertone of pedophiles and protecting predators. Oh wait, that also applies to Republicans

Why are religious people so constantly irksome?

Just two chapters in and I already feel like there’s a lot to unpack here

Alright, let’s go! Excited to delve into another John Boyne novel

So much grief contained in one book

“Dad says men who mount dead animals on their walls are men who think they’re more important than they really are. He also says that only men with small penises kill an animal to have as a trophy.”

Betty just described MAGA Republicans. The white fascist Nazi’s that love to be treaded on by Trump

It seems as if all women hold onto some untold trauma caused by a man or men rather because it’s usually more than one doing the damage

Somewhat happy times always parsed with the sad

Omg, the last chapter was so traumatic. I’m still reeling 🥹

That last chapter really did me in 😭

The content of this one is heavy 😅

There is a lot of trauma in this book and I can’t help but think if someone experiences deep lasting trauma; why is it that they didn’t have therapy before bringing children in this world? Oh right, because this is Amerikkka and mental health doesn’t matter. They just want women to be incubators so that men can feel important.

Unfortunately not at all surprised that white people treated and continue to treat indigenous folks and anyone different from them, horribly

Not surprised at all by the racism in full display. Amerikkka has always been this way ☹️

Welp, that took a turn. Poor Odie has really been through it

It’s unfitting to force people who have no freedom, whose freedom had been ripped from their people decades before, to take part of the observance of July 4th.

We are not free in fascist Amerikkka

Alright, let’s hope that things are looking up for these kids on their journey to find home

Glad they’re away from the religious grifters but we’ll have to see what danger the rivers hold

Ay yi yi tugging on my heart strings

Oh great, the predatory religious grifters have entered the storyline

What’s up with all the evil adults being cruel to children? Amerikkka is a horrible place
