![]() ![]() It's funny the way life circles back to you. ![]() I started the book before going to bed thinking it would help calm my nerves before the exam and help me fall asleep… Oh, I had to force myself to part from this book at 2am - not because I was tired (Fangirl made me feel alive) but because I couldn’t possibly think straight if I didn’t go to sleep right then and there. Of course, I couldn’t tame the temptation of starting this book even though I was a week before an important exam… This perfectly mirrors my experience of reading Fangirl back in January 2014 for the first time, also known as the night before my math exam. Landline was a recent favorite for all the introverts seeking love. ![]() And even more reviews of Rowell's other books. I mean, I have two reviews up on my blog where I talk all about my love for these characters: Why I Fangirl over Rainbow Rowell’s Fangirl (Spoilers: Levi) & Review: Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. I thought it was going to be like having fanart of all my favorite scenes. This is the closest I might get to that wish. Nothing might top the excitement I felt before opening this illustrated adaptation of my favorite book. Prepare for an epic Battle of the Books in this review of Fangirl VS Fangirl, vol. ![]() I'm going to start with an alarming statement: This adaptation was making me hate my all-time favorite book. ![]()

The main character is from LA, a woman so new to the prototype community called Greenloop that she and her husband haven’t yet read the owner’s manual about how their smarthome works. It starts out with some gentle satire about people who move to the wilderness of the Pacific northwest to try to live in a sustainable way without knowing anything about nature or how their technology works. It doesn’t start out like a horror story. I realized this around three one morning as I was reading it in a quiet house on a quiet street with snow falling outside, no neighbors’ lights, no car going by, just me and the dark and a story about creatures trying to get into a house to eat the people inside. Entitled Devolution: A Firsthand Account of the Rainier Sasquatch Massacre, it tells its story through first-person narratives from letters and journals, which makes it sound less exciting than it is it’s a page-turner.

Oskar is swept along by the convulsions of history, joining a troupe of performing dwarfs sent to entertain German troops at the frontline following the Nazi invasion of Poland. Born in the Free City of Danzig in 1924, his “presumptive fathers” are his mother’s husband – a dedicated Nazi – and her lover, a Polish patriot. At the age of three, Oskar resolves that he will never grow up and hurls himself down the stairs to ensure he will retain the body of a child. ![]() ![]() BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs.
