review 1: I'm not generally one to rally for half-stars because (all) decisions are hard enough for me without complicating things like the book-scoring system further, but in this case, I wish I had them. This is a 4.89 not rounded-up for fear of showing favoritism to things like experimentally-friendly small-presses, nice-seeming goodreaders, ridiculously beautiful cover designs, folks who come from darkly complicated and impoverished childhoods, and the opinions of Don DeLillo. Pretty awesome, though, that a small-town Oklahoma library had this, and that it had already been checked out a few times previous. Anyway, this is one of the most ethereal, absorbing, and important-scurry books I've read in ages, and I recommend it like crazy. No lie, no bull, no bias, it's just absur... moredly beautiful and wonderful and well-conceived and 100%. So.
review 2: DO NOT be fooled by the pretty pink cover or title! I kept on waiting for Mira to show up and save the day but she never did. What's up with that? I would have given the book one star but I like the name Mira so I tacked one on for good measure. I know this publisher is a local operation. The pretty young girl at the bookshop told me so. She claimed this was a family run operation. Curious what kind of family would put this out? Maybe the Adams Family LOL. Seriously. I felt very bad for the little boy who is in this book and I wanted to give him a hug but alas it was a book and I could not! Feel like all he needed was some good love. Hugs are good. The world is such a sad place sometimes. I would have preferred if a big-hearted mother named Mira had swung on by to save the day, but you can't have it all. I think I like the name Mira because it means "Look" in Spanish. I got A's in Spanish. My teacher in high school was... MUY CALIENTE. He was like a mix between Denzel and the guy from Law and Order. Oh my. Getting flushed just thinking about him. Good thing I am going to bed soon. Next up! The Crystal Eaters. Hopefully the bookstore lady didn't steer me wrong this time. Go Buckeyes! less
