Caging Skies | 
so-soJoJo Rabbit was based on this novel. Really impressed by the film. Still trying to figure out what I make of this novel. The narrator, Johannesburg, is no hero. But then neither is Elsa, the object of his affections, hatred, indifference. Perhaps the only heroic characters are his mother and grandmother. Perhaps I‘m just too dense to understand the meaning of this book. But then again I may not be.

to be honest, I only read this so I can watch the movie jojo rabbit
Seeing as the movie JoJo Rabbit is so popular I thought I'd dive into the book it is based on.
I am assuming it will be very different.
so-soI am still going to watch Jojo Rabbit, the material that is adapted from was just meh. Movie looks so much better.

Did anyone else‘s ears perk up for the adapted screenplay award on last nights Oscars?
JoJo Rabbit is on my to-be-watched list.... but I had zero clue it was inspired by a book. Has anyone read it? Watched it? Read AND watched?
Thank you, GFPL, for purchasing this book for me when ILL was not available. Weekend: locked in.
