The One and Only Ivan Blog Response #3

This week, our group had an online book club discussion. Each person posted 3 questions to be answered by the other group members.

I noticed that many questions centered on Ivan and Mack's relationship. The author was pretty vague about Ivan's feelings toward Mack, but it is through Ivan's eyes that we see the dark and maybe not so dark side of Mack.

There were also several thoughts about the purpose behind Ivan's artistic character trait and what this means for the story. Some answered in terms of the author's purpose and some as a key factor in supporting Ivan's livelihood during his time at the mall.

Overall, this was an interesting way to discuss a book, but I prefer face to face conversations with threads of thought that connect.
