So Ive finally read Who We Are by Tj Klune. And I say finally because Ive just realized that its been 20 months waiting in my to read folder for me to notice it again. I must admit I had already skimmed through it all, so I basically knew mostly everythink that was going to happen. But, you know, Ive never had problems with spoilers. If a book is well written, imo, it deserves to be read and enjoyed page by page, word by word. But I cannot do it if Im dying to know what will happen. So thats what I do with long stories: skim through them and, if I like them enough, when I have enough free time and the appropriate state of mind I reread them. So I guess with that Im already saying that I liked it and that I thought it deserved a second, thorough, reading. I agree with some reviews about how Bears monologues could be a bit annoying sometimes. Though I have to admit I felt identified with a couple of thinks, like imagining all the possible bad scenarios, or how I sometimes blurt out something related to the end of my chain of thought expecting everybody to understand what the hell Im talking about and how did I get there. So I can forgive him :) There is however something that I found wierd: If Bear doesnt know the meaning of those big words the Kid uses, why does his internal monologue also use some big words? Though maybe they are not that complicated and the problem is just on me for not being a native English speaker. I have to say, though, that Tj can write and write and write, and though I read it because I wanted to buy The Art of Breathing, I really thought my mind would need some down time of light reads to be ready again. But it seems I was wrong, since Im already half through it :)
