Slow… i am intrigued and would like to return to this book but I was in a reading slump and needed something that grabbed me faster than this did
Forced to return to the library after admitting to myself that things were too busy and too dire in my life to get through my overdue book stack :•(
Boring and not well written i’m afraid. UN international policy left-liberal pilled…
the library was so mad at me for having this book still so I will return to it another time lol
The Arab of the Future: A Childhood in the Middle East, 1978-1984: A Graphic Memoir
DID NOT FINISH: 55%
left at my mom’s house in ontario :-/
Boring excruciating thought it was cleverer than it really was
started while on vacation & then lost the thread & it’s months later & it’s my roommate’s book anyways. art writing a little too technical for my brain but interesting where I could fully follow.
sometimes you simply do not have to finish a book that is making you feel ill!
idk she was not doing it for me. I think I like my horror a little vaguer and less interested in the specifics of horrible things - I’d like to not know exactly what the monster looks like, but this book tells you that within 100 pages. I dig the premise of biohazard parasite disease + teenage future serial killer terrorize boyscouts on small pei island! but the sections with Shelley or whatever, the future serial killer kid, were making me feel physically unwell. sometimes I’m down to stick with that (I love and recommend TITANE to everyone despite finding it physically difficult to watch that film!) but broadly the experience of reading this book was more like a too-long r/nosleep story and didn’t feel worth hanging around for. I hope those kids escaped and learned the meaning of friendship or whatever. I guess in the world of this book Falstaff island is an absolute no-go forever lol.
