![]() ![]() Publisher: First Second (Roaring Book Press) I just believe it’s not a book for everyone, but that should definitely be given a chance by everyone. ♦ ![]() While I did feel like Glory and Frank were very real people, I think it was a bit tedious piecing together their story myself. I enjoyed Chopsticks and was definitely moved by it, but it ultimately didn’t blow me away like I wanted it to. I’m sure there are many ways to interpret what happened in the end, as the book doesn’t really have much closure. It’s a love story, but also a sad story about the lives of two teenagers that begin to spin out of control. In this stunningly moving novel told in photographs, pictures, and words, it’s up to the reader to decide what is real, what is imagined, and what has been madness all along….Ĭhopsticks is an utterly unique and whimsical story told entirely through pictures. Before long, Glory is unable to play anything but the song “Chopsticks.”īut nothing is what it seems, and Glory’s reality is not reality at all. The farther she falls, the deeper she spirals into madness. ![]() Brilliant and lonely, Glory is drawn to an artistic new boy, Frank, who moves in next door. As we flash back to the events leading up to her disappearance, we see a girl on the precipice of disaster. Now, as a teenager, Glory has disappeared. Her single father raised her as a piano prodigy, with a rigid schedule and the goal of playing sold-out shows across the globe. After her mother died, Glory retreated into herself and her music. ![]()
