review 1: I think this book is really good because its explores the complex life of a little girl with a giant body. It also has a real meaning in our reality. Because some others human beings have to live with problems to express their real feelings about their bodies or their thoughts because sometimes they do not match with the normal standards. It can be so awesome if instead of feel sorry for those people, We start to understand their problems and see them trough their souls and not trough of their physical appearance or they way in which they see their world. Good book highly recommended.
review 2: This was a very unique, odd & touching work. It inspired me to search out the history of the other "giants" mentioned. Having Ruth "speak" through James & Elspeth (and o... morewn their perspectives) was at times very off putting and this disrupted the overall flow. In the end, this resulted in a narrative that focused on a marriage & it's struggles more than the story of Ruth. If that was the author's ultimate intention, then it succeeded. If it was the author's goal to tell Ruth's story, it was not fully executed. less
