A review by miraswan
Through the Arc of the Rain Forest by Karen Tei Yamashita

4.0

You should read this book. Like full stop, I cannot get over the absolutely bizarre shit that happened in this book. It had me in the first half with its humor and its commentary and the story it was building with all the characters. I knew where this was going to go, we dissected it in class enough. Plus, an arc goes back to the beginning, slightly different, but beginning nonetheless. This novel was like watching ice break. The triumphant of walking across without failure only to see the hairline cracks expand and expand and expand. I can only say with great relief that some characters I loved survived. But only some. Anyway, good luck, you'll need it.
