So Weird!

The Rest of Us Just Live Here reminded me of Noggin and Grasshopper Jungle and The Ants Go Marching but not in a rip-off way.  I just think that if one liked any of those, one might also like TROUJLH because one would be able to suspend reality enough to enjoy it.  It is a WEIRD book.  It is snarky and funny.  And I love the "indi-kids" and their names.  And I loved a lot about this book, but I don't know if I got it.
It kinda reminds me of The Lobster, which I saw this weekend.  Although I can't say I liked The Lobster.  It was harsh and painful and sad, but it was a satire.  But I think that it meant a lot more than I got out of it.  But it was too brutal for me to think about it much more.
