Book Reviews Harlan Ellison Returns With A 'Can'tankerous' New Collection ![]() ![]() ![]() ( )Īnna and her Mennonite family migrate every year from their farms in Mexico to work in Canada's fields. I would highly recommend reading this book, but without the context of the author's note, you would not know what the book was referring to. The illustrations were also amazing each of the metaphors Anna uses come to life in the drawings. This book was very eye-opening, providing insight into a way of life that is not often talked about. ![]() Other people also stare at Anna and her family for the same reason. Anna also is confused by the people she sees in the grocery store, with their brightly colored hair and tattoos, because it is so different from her family's way of life. We get a glimpse into how Anna feels through her figurative language. The text uses a lot of metaphors, with Anna comparing herself to a migrating bird, a burrowing jackrabbit, and a kitten snuggled with siblings. ![]() This book was written to raise awareness for families such as Anna's. Conditions are difficult, their temporary homes are shabby yet expensive, and people treat them poorly as migrant workers. They travel from their homes in Mexico back up to Canada to find work. This is a really powerful story about a group of migrant workers from Mexico, the Mennonites. ![]() ![]() It switches from one tone to another in clumsy fashion, seeming to stagger toward a coherent conclusion.

Yeah, the opening premise is promising – an accident unravels an old scheme predicated on identity theft – but it goes downhill rapidly. I abide by a pretty strict Life’s Too Short to Finish Bad Books policy, but this one slipped through. ![]() To be fair, the book is so bad that our reader might have been more effective with something else, but he didn't help. He over-enunciated, had little sense of the "drama" taking place, and seemed out of touch with the purported tradition/genre of the work. It was hard at times to distinguish a bad book from bad narration, but I got the consistent sense that our reader was doing an infomercial.or maybe a middle-school educational film.
