A review by kellia
The Great Transition by Nick Fuller Googins
2.0
At the beginning, I really enjoyed this book. The premise, a climate crisis and climate criminals, was great and way too accurate. But then it got a bit boring and soon I realized that I actively disliked the characters.
The girl was a whiny brat. I know many 15 year old kids are, but it isn't necessarily enjoyable to read about. Her eating disorder seemed out of place in this book. It was never fully explored yet took up way too much space.
The mom was entirely unlikeable. There is no way that she did not know exactly what would happen as a result of her actions and she should have taken care to protect her family. Ridiculous.
The climate crisis parts were great and truly important, I just wish they hadn't been drowned out by the other boring/ridiculous/unlikeable parts.
