Poor Things was the strangest, most complex, and experimental book I've ever read. Inside and out (from what the book physically is to what it contains), Poor Things was unforgettable. The combination of each part of Poor Things feels like the book version of a frankenstein -- it's like a modge podge of different text formats. There's a narrative part, there's a letter, there's a news article, there's a footnote...all with illustrations sprinkled throughout. I loved the surprises I encountered simply by looking at the pages and seeing the font changes and eerie, scientific-esque drawings. Aside from the reading experience, I also was in love with Bella and her God. Though the ending remains ambiguous and up for interpretation, in every instance, Bella has a deep and pure love for Godwin Baxter. She loves his wisdom, generosity, peculiarity, and curiousness, which were feelings I quickly adopted for his character as well. He had such a curious way of living in both versions of the story, but each of his unfathomable mannerisms only added to the respect we (Bella and I) had for him as an otherworldly being. I wish he was real...a benevolent, odd genius. My other praise goes to Bella and to few lucky times I was able to read her actual writing (via letters she sent). I loved her quirks in language ('wedding' and 'candle') as much as her curiosities for the world. I loved how she was represented as a woman of unparalleled charm and bright energy, someone who could capture the heart of anyone who spoke to her. Although I know Poor Things is far more complex politically and philosophically than I've interpreted it as, as a story, it's charming, dark, comical, and something only a very strange person could have put together. It was awesome!!!
