Carly Jo answers “I found About Grace the most depressing...”

Valerie Green asked this question about About Grace:

I found About Grace the most depressing book I have ever read. So disappointing as I really enjoyed All The Light We Cannot See. Doerr's descriptive prose was incredible - if you happen to be a scientist and understood what he was talking about. It was far too deep for my taste and did not move the story along at a steady pace. Many times I decided to give up. David Winkler irritated me beyond words - anyone agree?

Carly Jo THANK YOU. David Winkler was irritating! In the beginning of his relationship with Sandy, I thought there was something *mildly* endearing about the A…moreTHANK YOU. David Winkler was irritating! In the beginning of his relationship with Sandy, I thought there was something *mildly* endearing about the Apple Jacks, but then Winkler's incessant purchasing of Apple Jacks made me think there was an attempt to put Winkler on the autism spectrum, but that tone or characteristic was not consistent enough, and therefore didn't add anything fascinating to this character (in my opinion).
