I like when Ariel and Eric go go out on the carriage and watch the stars and there’s a meteor shower, which is very cool

I like Bluey barky boats because I like when calypso teaches them that it can be hard to be in trouble so she says there are six year olds floating along nice river. They turned seven years old eight years old nine. 11 down the stream and then they wait for their buddies to come back patiently.

I want to be a doctor too

amazing book full of friendship, trust, magic, and much more

I can connect as a working mother of 3 who loves dogs.

An exemplary adaptation that inserts modern liberal political ideals in an organic and believable way. The alternating narrative is brilliantly balanced, and the deity characters feel hyper human rather than alien. Every characters' motivations are clear and understandable, and though they often make mistakes, there are no villains; just people willing to change and evolve into better versions of themselves (and maybe one or two who aren’t).

I cried so much through this book that the words were blurry, and I had to wipe away tears every couple of seconds. Bravo!

I wanted to love this book as science and faith and their intersections are where I "live". But this book plunged into the world of addiction so heavily, that I felt like I needed an Al-Anon meeting while reading it. I don't say that lightly because I highly appreciate 12-step recovery groups. I thought this leaned heavily into the coming-of-age issues of how to disengage from mentally ill parents and restrictive churches. Because it was a look-backwards POV, I thought Gifty, being a Stanford student, would be intelligent enough to seek out other places of worship and come to terms with (while not approve of) the cultural issues in churches. To condemn God because of a few people seems.....unwise and unfair. Do we want God to smite every bad action or actor? Wouldn't that include each one of us? This is the inherent tension in Christianity. How do we continue to love? The attempt for Gifty to discover the answers to depression and addiction seems laudable but naive. How many millions of people have hoped to do just that? Maybe working with God and maybe through 12-step groups could move the needle? Nonetheless,I learned a lot about Ghana, the daily pain of immigration, and the bigotry endemic in AL.

I like the bad seed because he is very bad but even know he’s very bad. He’s still can decide to be good what he does and that’s a good job of him so I’m very proud of the bad seed and he has way more fun being good even though you’re so stuck into being bad you still can find ways to having fun just like the couch potato he never realized how much fun it was to see each other in person cause it is really fun in a bad seat where that too and you’ll never know if you try and you know what sometimes I act that way and the couch potato on the bad seed cousins so they have to try to be the same but this doesn’t mean that they have to learn from different stuff. The bad seed had a great lesson and so did the couch potato so you always have to try right because if you never try then you’ll never learn what you want to do so that’s why they both have to learn the lessons in their lives to make them good and have fun cause friends won’t wanna be with you if you’re bad but that makes a whole lot difference when you’re good

I found it very haunting and beautiful . Inspired me to live with integrity . But it was a little derivative and definitely too short ! More of a novella when it needed about 200 more pages !
