I realized that I didn't conclude Salvage The Bones. It ended simply and sweetly and shortly, which is how I'm trying to write this post. Short and simple. It was a good read. I dragged it out a little larger than I would have liked to but I wasn't a bad book. It was an on-and-off kind of book. Some parts were interesting and moved fast, others were slow and dragged on. In the end Esch and her family are on a life threatening adventure. Their house floods to the ceiling and they have to escape from to the roof through the attic. They some how have to jump from roof to roof with glass and wind and debris whipping them around. They carry their dog China and her puppies but ultimately the puppies are lost and when they finally get to safety, China leaves in the storm to find her puppy. Esch's brother Skeetah who is China's true owner goes after her.
The storm dies and the family observe the aftermath. That's pretty much how the book ends. They find Skeetah at their house which is now ruined. China is still lost but he has hope. I guess the book is about hope.
Oh yeah, while they're fighting for their lives, they find out Esch is pregnant. The father at first is stunned and almost seems angry. But after the storm he shows he cares more about Esch and her brothers and will take care of her. It's an a'ight book. I like open-minded things.
I am continuing COUNTING SEVENS. I want to read Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut. Be part of the controversy.
