Rezension von LinneI really enjoyed the writing style of this book. The characters were very well written, and I loved how naturally the narrative shifted between all the different characters, including the dog. The whole storyline felt so real because it portrayed the world we live in without sugarcoating anything. I also liked how everything was subtly intertwined, from Calvin’s childhood and his pen pal to the interviews and so many other little details. Calvin’s death was so cruel and came completely out of nowhere. I was genuinely shocked. Although I wholeheartedly dislike chemistry, I actually enjoyed all the scientific parts!

Rezension von KalypsoOne Word: Empowering! Elizabeth Zott's story is tragic and hopefull, it's about science, motherhood and family and friendship, about feminism, about love and grief, about faith and perseverance, about rowing and most of all: about not giving up! Absolutely everyone should read this book!
