The Shape of Water by Guillermo del Toro, Daniel Kraus
3.0



I enjoyed this audio book. It has mystical elements in a not to distant modern past. I felt the characters were very well written and I found myself really sympathizing with some in this mysoginistic and aggressive world as they navigated their way into a more accepting future.

The whole concept of water being ever changing and at the same time constant was beautiful and reflected the characters struggles beautifully. I was also able to loathe other characters in a very real way. I tried so hard to sympathize and no matter what I did I couldn’t get past their cowardly actions and their attitude towards anyone they felt was less than them.

Overall it was a well written story and I enjoyed it (more so in audio I think than if I had read it myself, it gave it depth)
