Ulasan: Dolores' life changes dramatically after a major incident. From then on, she goes through a lot of obstacles and tries to face these challenges as best as she can. The story follows her days from a young girl to an adult who finally learns to love herself. I can't deny that some parts of these books really made me angry with Dolores' actions and reactions, but all in all, it was an enjoyable read. Good job to Lamb for a great debut novel.

Ulasan: Will is an adult who behaves like a child, while Marcus is a 12-year-old who behaves like an adult. These two meet in the most unlikely of places and thus begins their relationship. I liked the way the two points-of-view are shown when the characters deal with changes and hardship. Some parts were really funny too. Am planing to watch the movie next.

Ulasan: Buster and Annie grew up in an artistic albeit unusual world of macabre performance art. Now adults, they find it hard to cope with their everyday world, which is made worse with the disappearance of their parents. I liked it because it was quirky, and funny.
