Dreams from Nepal: The Emotional Story of a Twelve-Year-Old Nepali Boy | 
Your own existence matters when others judge your character
panAnyone else who‘s going to #Nepal for #passportLitsy #LitsyPassport, stay away from this book. The writing is clunky, the characters are cardboard cutouts, and the plotting is not believable. Plus, for no apparent reason, except to make the subtitle true, the MC dies in the end. The last two sentences actually are: “They walked toward her solemnly, carrying the shiny coffin. At last Ram was home. The End.” @maximoffs
I‘m having difficulty believing in this book. Ram is 12, undereducated, and from a rural village. Yet we‘re expected to believe that he has thoughts like this about the family he works for? It doesn‘t fit. Perhaps as an adult looking back on this experience he might have such thoughts. But not as a 12 year old boy. I‘ll finish it, but only because it‘s #nepal for #passportLitsy. @maximoffs
“As was his way when this bread appeared, he doused it thoroughly in the lentil broth, knowing his mother‘s talents in the kitchen could make even this unappealing bread palatable.” Although this bread looks pretty good to me!#inthekitchen #scenesfromabook @JoeStalksBeck #LitsyPassport #Nepal @maximoffs
