Kiki’s Reviews > Shtum: A funny and uplifting story of families and love > Status Update

I'm disliking this book intensely, to the point that it's making me angry reading certain parts of it. I wasn't at all expecting this negative reaction, because having read the blurb and some reviews, I thought it would deal with a difficult subject but with some humour and ultimately be uplifting. But so far, there isn't a single sympathetic character. Such a stark contrast to the wonderful "A Boy Made of Blocks".
