Isaac and the Egg
by Bobby Palmer
I've rounded down as this is probably a 3.5*
I am very fortunate not to have experienced any real loss in my life yet. Perhaps it's this that left me feeling cold early on. I can't relate to this level of emotional breakdown.
The egg idea was cute, but Addy just annoyed me for a good portion of this. The very interiority of his grief meant that I couldn't really get into it. I enjoyed it more as it went on, and the concept was good - the egg served very much as a metaphor for the walls Addy was erecting around himself - and the breaking down of his barriers had me turning pages but I felt like it had potential to be more than it was.
