Andy K (10821 KP) rated Hoarders in TV

They sometimes live in filth, human and animal waste, their homes toppling from within. Do they not see it? I know it's a disease like alcoholism or OCD, but it just pains me yet fascinates at the same time.
I find it so interesting to watch through the TV lens at those who are different than me. It makes me think my life isn't as bad as I think it is and I feel like I want to help them.
This show has been on 10 years now and it never fails to amaze me. I sometimes weep as I see how others live and that their families cannot even help them sometimes.

Instead I found myself saddened by the book, the story idea was amazing but I just got bored half way through the book. The premise of Peter Pan stealing kids away from families was only breifly mentioned and the parents/officers were mentioned only in beginning. I wanted more from each side, why did they think their kids were stolen, did most kids return home. Did they lose their memories once home as parents thought they were being kidnapped?
I did enjoy the magic and the thought provoking parts. Do you want to grow up, do you have to grow up? It really makes you think about your life and if growing up is a thought process or just a frame of mind.

The photos in this book are vibrant. They are close that you feel as if you can touch the animals.
There are some special sections on that side of the page that that include cool animal facts, simple infographics, and illustrated maps of the Earth and the habitats as well as the short bits on "All Grown Up". The special sections will invite discussion and further investigation. They even have bits on "Just like Humans" where they show how human families interact in some of the various topics.
On the top of the page there are activities, further resources and an extensive Glossary.

I'm not entirely sure if this book is meant to be a commentary on Chinese culture or immigrants, but for me it didnt come across that way. The majority of the characters aren't particularly likeable in many different ways, and the whole story seemed a little pointless as the characters didn't appear to have developed much after all of the events that had occurred. The plot itself could have been interesting but it was spoilt a lot by the constant bickering and toing and froing between the families.
Overall it's written well enough to keep my attention for the entire book, but sadly this is ultimately forgettable and not one that moved me in any way.
The book kept me intrigued but I grew tired of the main character. I understand the reason for his silence but it was also frustrating as you just wanted him to help especially when another boy went missing. I was so relived when he finally started talking.
It was interesting to see how families and people are affected when people go missing. This is the part you don't really read about in the books.
There was more than 1 thing going on in the family's lives so it wasn't all about Evan.
Anyone who likes crime should give this a read.
I gave the book a rad based on the blurb and it did exceed it.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.
