No Comments Why Not?
I kept thinking ‘gee, I hope I have the time and concentration to review The One and Only Bob when I get home tomorrow,’ and then it occurred to me–why wait? If I have to be up anyway–and believe me, I still have to be up for a bit–then it only makes sense to write my review now. It’s something I can get done, at least, right?
Anyway. I gave myself permission to chill a good bit today, given my clear-liquid diet; I walked my youngest to and from school, I did the dishes, and I ran a few errands, but I also worked on an annoyingly difficult puzzle and listened to Danny DeVito narrate The One and Only Bob.
Not surprisingly, he was fantastic.
So, of course, was the book, but then, what else would you expect of Katherine Applegate? Bob is living with Julia now, but they’re visiting Ivan and Ruby when a serious storm hits–and hits hard. I don’t really want to say much more–verse novels go fast, and you really ought to enjoy the discovery of the story yourself–except that what happens during the storm shifts Bob’s outlook on the world. So go get the audio (you don’t want to miss Danny DeVito) and enjoy!
And to my English teachers? I’m sorry for all of the double dashes. One’s weaknesses do tend to show more at 2 am.
