"We are already thinking at our hospital about mixing in positive lifestyle books with what the kids read." It's a win-win situation, note Armstrong and Hassink. After all, there are few negative side effects to encouraging kids...
...dead Indian survivors, a song drilled into the head of the narrator, who is eventually overcome by these ghosts of the past. Moya’s descriptive language captures the narrator’s progressive deterioration, so that by the end of the book, the author makes us wonder if we haven’t lost a bit of ourselves in this violent, perversely comedic account.
