This book covered a surprising amount for being so few pages. Multiple tribes and centuries of histories are succinctly summarized with vivid language and pertinent images.

I greatly enjoyed reading this highly educational book and recommend it to readers of all ages.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley.

The quiet moments, the still moments - how many of these moments make up our lives?

Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá show us what life can consist of with simple, yet powerful, examples of a single life and how it could be lived. The character we follow is an obituary writer for a newspaper as an adult, and Daytripper makes phenomenal use of the form and function of obituaries and hones in on the ties death has to life.

The edition I read had an address in the back that concludes,
"...we did live it.
And sometimes we die to prove that we lived."

I can't say it any better than that. Daytripper was a gorgeous read that I am glad I took slow. It deserves pondering and the time to let the emotions hit and then seep.
