Review by Annalea H.
Who would like this book? Anyone who can handle a deep, powerful and awesome storyline that revolves around abuse and a terrible truth. This book is definitely for older readers that are quick and understand the way it’s written, in poetry.
The goods on this book: Because I Am Furniture is a raw, powerful book about the struggle of an abusive father and a family who lets him abuse them. Anke is an average girl who lets her steam out with volleyball: what kind of steam? Her father is an abusive man who hurts everyone around him except Anke; he cheats on his wife and abuses her siblings. Will the nightmare end? Maybe. Read Because I Am Furniture to figure it out.
