Hard Mouth
I gave this book a try, but something about the sparse writing style and the characters who had lifestyles so different from mine didn't draw me in. It's not something that I would recommend, and I DNF'd.
This was ok. It started off as a bit of a snooze but picked up partway through. It never really picked up enough for me to feel more than sort of meh about it.
This is one of those books that will stay with me for a long while. The main character, Denny, is such an oddball person. Unlikable, yet I found myself hoping for only the best for her. I lost my mom and dad but not at a young age. Its hard.
I dont know what to say. I've read a few scattered reviews (I need to check Goodreads, the Mack Daddy) where it was pointed out that it was humorous. I didn't pick up on any humor, just tremendous sadness and outright recklessness. I suppose this ( to the millennials could be considered funny) but I was reading about one fucked up girl.
I think that I was fooled into thinking her foray into the woods would be something close to enlightenment. But it quickly became apparent it was frightening and very scary.
I'm giving it 4 stars because even though the story upset me , it was well written and thought provoking.… (altro)
