Allyson is Reading- Billy Lynn’s Long Half-Time Walk by Ben Fountain
I’ll be honest, my sole purpose in reading this book was based on the positively stunning trailer released earlier in the year for Ang Lee’s upcoming adaptation of the film.
Watch it here.
I can’t say I’m incredibly far into reading it so far (at the most maybe three chapters in) but it’s a different type of read for me so I’m excited to see what I take away. The slightly skewering, satirical nature of the story should appeal to my sensibilities and, even more so, get me even more excited for the upcoming adaptation.
The book I just finished however has me still reeling, which was Patrick Ness’s tremendously moving More than This which had me emotionally engaged from beginning to end. A must read.
