Half Bad Novel Review: Struggling with Its Unusual Narrative Style

01/07/2023, 3:52 pm Angel Rodriguez 0

After starting Half Bad on Kindle, I found the mix of first and second person narration confusing and frustrating. The writing style made it hard to follow the story, so I decided to put it down for now. Maybe I’ll give it another try later.

Episode 117 – The pain of losing my dog Peppa
by@Angelrtalk

In this deeply personal episode, Angel Rodriguez opens up for the first time about the loss of his beloved five-pound Pomeranian, Peppa, who passed away on September 3rd after a heartbreaking battle with an autoimmune disorder. Angel shares the raw, unfiltered grief of losing a dog who was more than a pet — she was his emotional support, his constant companion for seven years, and one of the purest sources of love in his life. He walks through Peppa's final days, the impossible decision at the animal hospital, and the funeral service that followed. Angel also gets candid about where he stands now — the ongoing pain, his wife Christine's desire to get another dog, and why he can't bring himself to say yes. A vulnerable, tear-filled conversation about love, loss, and what it really means to bond with an animal.
