Rendition During Books Chopsticks

After her mother died, Glory retreated into herself and her music. Her single father raised her as a piano prodigy, with a rigid schedule and the goal of playing sold-out shows across the globe. Now, as a teenager, Glory has disappeared. As we flash back to the events leading up to her disappearance, we see a girl on the precipice of disaster. Brilliant and lonely, Glory is drawn to an artistic new boy, Frank, who moves in next door. The farther she falls, the deeper she spirals into madness. Before long, Glory is unable to play anything but the song "Chopsticks." But nothing is what it seems, and Glory's reality is not reality at all. 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....

Notice Regarding Books Chopsticks

This book was told in such a fantastic way, I don't even know how to describe it. It was beautiful and emotional, and I loved every minute I spent reading it.

You have a story. How do you chose to tell it? Chopsticks is the kind of book you read more then once in a single sitting, well technically not read per say, but the type of book you observe multiple times. This book is about more then just words on a page, instead Chopsticks chooses to tell its deceptively layered story through images and emotions instead of just plain old text.

Would have been better of the photographs didn't look so staged, which makes the whole book seem gimmicky.

I have a confession to make. I actually bought this book without reading any reviews. That is highly unusual for me because I rarely buy any books (I'm a library girl through and through) and when I do, it's under two circumstances: 1) I've read it before, loved it and would read it again or 2) It comes with the highest recommendations from my most trusted reviewing friends.  Chopsticks is a bit of an enigma for me because out of all the books to choose from at Books-A-Million, I chose it simply

Whoa! Too unique for words. Did I miss out on anything? It feels like there was something I missed out on. I tried to get back to the last few pages and I was baffled even more. Maybe the book wanted to leave it at that, and I wouldn't want to sound pretentious, nope I am not being pretentious here, I just simply loved the whole of it. No sugarcoating or anything, just the pure truth. I specifically liked that it was a novel narrated thru pictures and snippets and cutesy letters passed between



I wanted to like this book so very, very much. The trouble is that the graphic novel format - particularly the book's use of "found" photographs - doesn't support the world the authors seem to try to create. The way I see it, there are three basic interpretations of the book's "twist" ending (the part where "you decide what was madness all along"). 1)(view spoiler)[ Frank exists, and Glory ran away to be with him (view spoiler)[ 2) (view spoiler)[ Frank does not exist, he is a figment of Glory's
