Status Updates From A Hundred Thousand Worlds

This book captures all the delicate moments poetically, atmospherically, metaphorically and beautifully. It shows how much children can help us make sense of the world and heal and grow...

Just finished a flashback chapter with Val. These are slow and confusing and not my favorite. Thankfully redeemed by a touching, soft, and thoughtful chapter between Gail and Alex. These chapters are where the book shines best.

This is a beautifully woven story of childhood & of relationships, of dreams & stories. I never thought of a story being centered around comic conventions but it works. Some chapters are confusing with snippets of stories past and present, of fiction and reality, but they work together to complete the world. Proehl also has a way of capturing the human experience and putting words to gestures & subconscious thoughts.

I've been depressed lately, so I had to switch to listening to the audio book in order for me to get through the book faster
