I like Miller's writing and I sympathized with Philoctetes

I love a good portrayal of Death or The Reaper. I very much appreciate Jinya's view of Life and Death. Great art style and yup reading these all at once made me tear up.

Will try to keep up as it seems that this is pretty current with #53 coming out this August.

More a diary entry rather than a true review.
Today Living Classroom had our first graders made vegetable soup from the garden vegetables that they grew themselves. It went really well.
Before we harvested they read this book. The kids seemed to like it and I enjoyed that they caught on to the repetition and the concept.
I'm not a fan of the art style on this one.

3.5
For most of the story I loved Barbra/Sophie, and then there were moments when that I felt she was flat or too ‘Sue'.

But I loved the time period, the look of London/England at that moment and Hornby's tying together of that collection of characters, even if it got muddled sometimes.

Originally I had rather enjoyed this book. A while ago I learned that Mortenson had been quiet dishonest.

Here's a refresher for those who might need it:

Financial mismanagement
Dishonest accounts of events
