Book Rating

There is a reason why this book won the Man Booker Prize 2019 (jointly with Margaret Atwood’s The Testaments). It’s perfection, in my opinion.

This is written in 12 chapters, each featuring a named character. They’re Black (one unknowingly so), British (although one no longer lives in the UK and thinks of herself as American) and Female (and one no longer identifies as female). They’re all different ages and from different backgrounds, but some are linked, and these characters are linked in grouped chapters.

I loved the writing style - a kind of prose poetry - with a lack of capital letters and punctuation. After a couple of pages of acclimatisation, it became a really fluid read - like a thought process.

I really enjoyed reading about their different lifestyles, different origins and where their lives took them.

A really satisfying, thought provoking read.

Kudos

After having a bit of a hit and miss scenario with Rayman, the Rabbids have decided to crash Mario's Party (see what I did there).
After an awkward malfunction involving a modded Nintendo power glove (because nothing says success like tampering with an item that wasn't fully functional in its best days) and a washing machine (of all things) the worlds of the Rabbids & mario & friends merge (Movie reference).
The game is a team turn based style shooter that is very fun to play, unlocking multiple characters along the way as Mario & Co. Double Dash (⬅ lol) through several stages of brightly coloured areas collecting coins & upgrades as Well as solving puzzle challenges.
