I don't think I can write an objective review for this book.
You know this statement? "Don't talk about religion and politics?" I could add also "..and about health insurance in the United States."
I didn't laugh as much as I did reading the first book.
Most of the time I was like this:
- Why why why FGS so many people in one of the most powerful and prosperous countries in the world are still fighting against the statutory health insurance?!
- Why why why special schools for hearing impaired children have such a bad reputation in USA?! Why is it better for a deaf kid to be in a normal school where nobody gives a sh*t about a sign language than to learn in the surroundings of teachers who are professionally specified for it?
- Why didn't Wiley use a pen name when he published Crack Baby?! Didn't he know how cruel children can be? I found it unfair and selfish toward Noah.
*Yes, I know, all these are Stones in the Road. And it's a fiction work. And I should just stop to think too politically. And just start to accept that we have different life, different surroundings and different backgrounds. But it's not easy to ignore all these aspects. Honestly.
And like this:
This book is not a romance. It is a love story. An unconditional love story between a farther and his son.
Do you know how much I love you?
As big as the M-i-s-s-i-s-s-i-p-p-i?
Bigger!
As big as the ocean?
Bigger!
As big as the sky?
As big as the biggest thing in the world.
What's that?
G-e-o-r-g-e B-u-s-h-'s stupidity.
Who is that?
Never mind. I love you so, so much. Do you believe me?
This book is the first place about a very deep inner connection between Wiley and Noah.
And much more.
Noah..this little man captured my heart.
