acknowledge, my bookmark.
Yes. I am serious.
My dear, lovely, beautiful bookmark. It was actually, I believe, my mom’s, which I faithfully retrieved from the dusty corners of my grandparent’s house and brought it back, which then I kept on using for most of my books.
This book was a very easy read. Probably the easiest one I’ve read so far. The plot wasn’t deep in meaning, and it wasn’t that hard to understand. And honestly, I liked that.
In this book, I have to say, there was no favorite character. I know, its very surprising, especially if you’ve seen all of my book reviews so far. All of them- or at least most of them, have a favorite book.
To be honest, I was a bit confused. What was the deep plot, meaning, inside this book? What was the overall idea, or storyline? What was happening that would be the main thing? Yes, we learnt about Charlie’s past, but was that actually the main point?
But another part of me says this: Perhaps I have read too much dark books these days. Perhaps, this book is really, what the book title is- All of a kind. Perhaps its meaning isn’t a deep, philosophical thing, but simply, a book about family love.

Realize
That
This
Book
Is
Sexist.
Yes. I can’t help it. I know, back in the days it was normal, but I feel bad. Because, see, how the father wishes for a boy? Not a girl? Sure, he might be ‘lonesome’ but I felt like that reflected on that society back then- and- it’s not…pretty. There’s this saying in Korea, about how ugly stones help carve my jewel. Perhaps this book is like an ugly stone. Perhaps we need to see the moral of how not to think.
This was a rather short book review, but it was worth it. This book is definitely a fun read, for light reading and nice for a break. But if you want a book with rich and deep meaning and thought, go and have a go with Sapiens, or Cosmos, two books I’m reading right now. It’ll definitely give you more than a trillion thoughts.
Thank you.
