opinions on this
to come, I really enjoyed this book for what it was a book about a girl going on a journey to find herself, both physically and mentally.
Mim is such an interesting character because she is crazy in the most indescribable way, yet she's relatable and rational and witty and intelligent and a perfect main character.
Watching her journey is addicting and you grow to love her, even though you can blatantly tell she has her flaws, I was in love with this book because the writing was incredible, It takes a lot for me to notice an author's writing style, but Arnald definitely gets two thumbs up from me, It was so intricate that I found myself putting down the audiobook and picking up my physical copy because it was a much more enjoyable experience
to let the words sink in.
Overall, I though the storyline was great and the inclusion of a disabled side character was a unique and gratifying addition, Although I felt like the end of this was just a little bit anticlimactic and as far as road trip books go, this was slightly unrealistic, the Ținutul țânțarilor's writing and characters make up for it.
I can totally see how this is making it to some people's Top oflist, Fell in love with the young MIM, who sneaks out of school after overhearing her dad and step mother talking about how ill her mother is.
She is fearless, feisty, and so likable, So, this sneak peak definitely did what it was supposed to do, give is enough of the story to go out and get the book.
And I will. What. the. hell.
This is the epitome of everything that's wrong with this whole "John Green" genre minus the good intentions of the man himself.
Because this book made me so angry I'm going to itemize my major complaints here:
, PILLS ARE NOT A BAD THING FOR MANY PEOPLE STOP DEMONIZING THEM
, You are not special because you have a nickname
, Cherokee warpaint Can we just not with the cultural appropriation
, "Or you're sitting in the cafeteria, pondering the complexities of the latest Christopher Nolan film while the nearest table of cheerleaders discusses whatever reality TV show is popular that week, then argues over who gives the most efficient blow job" HOLY.
SHIT. Clearly David Arnold has literally NEVER talked to a teenage girl before, much less a cheerleader, I am so damn sick of the whole 'I'm not like other girls' bullshit, and this is one of the worst offenders I've read.
. Twentyone is too old for sixteen,is too old for. TOO OLD.
. Seriously no one drives PT Cruisers any more,
. The ending is so insanely cliche I wanted to throw the book straight into the trash,
. There are just so many things wrong with how Walt is presented, I can't even start in on this one,
. One last time: PILLS ARE NOT A BAD THING FOR MANY PEOPLE STOP DEMONIZING THEM I dont read a whole lot of YA, but the voice of this one captured me right away.
Like Hazel in The Fault in Our Stars, Mim Mary Iris Malone is a lovably sarcastic oddball she describes herself as “a young Ellen Page” à la Juno with some hidden issues that come out over the course of the book.
Here Mims journey takes the form of a road trip from Mississippi, where she lives with her father and new stepmother, back to Ohio to be with her sick mother.
She meets a kooky cast of secondary characters along the way, narrowly escapes danger, and even gets a chance at romance, I especially liked the quasiepistolary format: Mim is writing a journal in the form of letters to Isabel, Especially for a first novel, Arnold balances humor and serious themes very well,
Favorite lines: “At some point, and I dont know when, I accepted isolation, I curled into a ball and settled for a life of observations and theories, which really isnt a life at all, ”
I won a free signed copy in a Maximum Pop! Books Twitter giveaway, I don't even know where to begin, This book is as weird, wonderful, and unforgettable as its title, Mim is such perfectly drawn teenager: whipsmart, hilariously observant, and almost heartbreakingly vulnerable, Her voice is irresistible, and it will be singing in your head for weeks months years after you finish this ridiculously awesome book.
One of my alltime favorites,
.still not sure how I feel about this one yet, . .
Basically, this is how I feel about Mosquitoland, sitelinkMy review is here, though, Mim nu e bine, Epiglota deplasată şi ochiul cu care nu mai vede sunt ultimele sale griji, Familia i se destramă repede, tânăra deani suferă de nevroză, Mim e nevoită să se mute în celălalt colţ al ţării împreună cu tatăl şi noua lui soţie, Când află că mama ei e bolnavă, Mim fuge deacasă, hotărâtă să străbată ceide kilometri care o despart de ea.
Drumul nu e doar lung, ci se dovedeşte şi dificil de străbătut, căci întâlnirile şi confruntările cu diverse personaje şi propriii demoni o pun la grea încercare.
What a weird yet kind of wonderful little book,
It is a coming of age story dealing with broken homes and medicated minds, Of running away only to find out you are running home, Of facing a society with many dangerous perils, but where a few genuine diamonds in the rough more than make up for it.
Sometimes it felt like the book was trying to be too whatever it was trying to be, but I think the characters you meet and the experiences they have more than make up for it.
If you love YA, If you love road trips, Give this one a go,
Side note I loved the chapter about the Cincinnati skyline, I grew up near there and it was a perfect description! Full review posted:
Just trying to explain to you what mosquitoland is, is probably impossible bc the book is like someone got the letters of the alphabet and threw them in the air and just shrugged and walked away BASICALLY I DONT KNOW WHAT THE BOOK IS
Its about a quirky, edgy teenage girl that is not okay
Mim is honestly a collection of oddities, from her defiance of following rules to camping out with homeless boys to throwing up on demand, honestly no one knows what on earth shes planning next
I quite liked mims character, she had that strong external layer of iron but shes also a softie who would make sure a wooden box reached a certain gas station owner
This book was so confusing I wasnt sureof the time what I was reading but then the ending came and everything kind of had a spot and I touched my cheeks and there were tears and I was like gosh dammit REALLY!!
W A L T is the most precious, sweet, little cinnamon bun around and if in a few seconds he break through mims hard exterior and give her some random blooming maternal instinct then he bloody hell can do it for you too
AND BECK
SWEET GORGEOUS BECK
Thinking back to the theme, itd say a lot of it surrounded family
And thats a pretty good theme for any book to express
A pretty hard one too
But mim is this little ball of adventure and courage and even though the book left me in a puddle of confusion, it also mended some wounds that I didnt know even existed
This book really seems like a hit or miss bc the more I look the more I see how either people DETESTED mims character or they ADORED her
im the latter if you couldnt tell
Her warped sense of humour
The hella strange adventures she embarks on
The plot twists that no one sees coming
Its all great man
My only complaint is that it did bore me from time to time and I had to force myself to read, even though there were SO MANY adventurous activities but it kinda felt frivolous until the VERY end when it all came together
It really is an epic coming of age tale
“I am a collection of oddities, a circus of neurons and electrons: my heart is the ringmaster, my soul is the trapeze artist, and the world is my audience.
It sounds strange because it is, and it is, because I am strange, ”
stars!!
Buddy read with sitelinkcontemporary trash,
