book in one day
I reblogged a post a while back about "reading a book in one setting can can be interpreted in a similar lens as drinking a bottle of wine in one setting -- doesn't mean I was in a healthy place." Well, I haven't done it in a long time, but man I was hooked by this. It's middle grades and written in verse not prose. I usually get turned off by books like that, but I loved it. Essentially it's like if Hatchet meets The Last of Us. Survival narrative about a 12 year old girl who has to make it in an abandoned town after something happened to her parents and all the townsfolk. This is a book I bought for my birthday at a cute indie bookstore.
It's less about the plot and more about the feelings but the ending could've been better (it is middle grades after all). She talks about Island of the Blue Dolphins constantly. Want to check that out/reread that next.
Have they made a Hatchet movie? God I bet it would be horrible. Don't want to put that evil out into the world.
Self reblog to say I found out that there was a hatchet movie made in the year of our lord 1990. The film was retitled as A Cry In The Wild and apparently all of my coworkers watched it in middle school except for me. The cover looks like this
