Love the concept and story but there is just something that is not keeping me as engaged as I would like. Pacing? Writing style? Just trying to figure it out.

bailedI was so excited when I realised this was a retelling of Hamlet (my favourite Shakespeare play). I was very disappointed almost immediately. The main character is 11, but his thought processes seem much younger. He throws around words like “fatso” because he‘s impatient with a bank teller, and his friends are stunningly and disturbingly misogynistic for prepubescent children. He repeats words over and over like a kindergartener.

Really excited to take this one for a spin.

pickloved all of the philosophy. I loved the way Haig played with the many worlds interpretation. It‘s a little bit (a very little bit) like It‘s a Wonderful Life with the coolest library, but it‘s so much more than that with all the academics. I love the perspective shift from worthlessness to potential. This is almost Sci-fi philosophy, but I love both, so I really enjoyed this book.

Nora is absolutely obsessed with Thoreau.

I love the drops of philosophy in this. The fact the MC was a philosophy major certainly sets the tone.

Well, this is something to think about.

Wasn‘t sure what book to start next, the @TheBookHippie shared a post by this author, and then I knew!
