The book is growing on me

Only a chapter in but I can feel it be a 3 star read, it's a little too quirky for me!!

Let’s get back into it after that mini hiatus

What a great Part II. Completely flipped the energy and intensity!! NOW I’m excited for the last part!

FINALLY the book is picking up, it’s actually such an exciting read all of a sudden!!

Done with Part I, and it majorly dealt with character introduction. There are parts of the book I really enjoyed, but as compared to his other works, this book seems refreshingly optimistic. There are a couple places where the tone felt slightly heavy, it is overall reading more like an actual adolescent's thoughts as he navigates life.

Quite different than Dostoevsky’s usual tone of prose

Done with Part 1 and it is BEAUTIFULLY written so far!!

Oh my goodness what a snooze fest!

More than halfway in and I’m not hooked. Am I reading this wrong?

This book is slightly unsettling but I can’t point out why, I just know it’s not the plot (despite all)

This book feels like a fever dream

8 chapters in and I love how feel-good this book is!

Only a chapter in and I can already tell I’m going to love this book

How many pages can I read on a 10 hour flight?

3.5; what

4/5; I want whatever Calvino was on because how do take hearing as a sense, and make it so intriguing!!

5/5; felt like I was in trance!! Playing on the sense of taste, this story dealt with it in a way I never saw coming!

Go Grandmother Jia!!

This book is insane I love it

Oh how the turntables

-0.25 for the last lines of each chapter

I’m hooked!!

Very anxiety-inducing, I must say

I have such a soft spot for Mrs. Joad it’s actually insane

There’s such a deep connection that is so personal for each of the characters and it’s done so tastefully that you feel their emotions with them. Will never not rave about John Steinbeck and his writing.
