The Realm of Possibility by David Levithan
3.0

I think that maybe this just wasn't my type of book. It was a SUPER quick read, I read the whole thing in just under an hour and that's not because I skim read or rushed, but because the style of the book allows for a very quick read.

This is a series of 20 prose-poems. They are from 20 different characters and the poems are linked to each other in some way. I liked the idea behind this but I've never been a huge lover of poetry. I thought that some of the poems worked really well and I was able to make strong connections with the characters in a very short space of time. On the other hand, some of the poems gave very little for me to attach to and also didn't seem to lead me anywhere.

A great idea and a diverse read, but the writing style wasn't quite my cup of tea.
