She reaches out to him. To herself. There is no difference. She understands now. She holds him, he holds her, they hold each other, and all is dark, all is light, all is ungliness, all is beauty, all is pain, all is grief, all is never, all is forever. When a book is described as 'light,' there's usually a negative connotation to this adjective: by lightness what we mean is something along the lines of 'written without careful craft,' or sometimes, more simply, 'trivial.'

Although The Shape of Water is set in the 1960s, it manages to touch upon several issues that are still being hard fought to this day--equal rights for women, racism and gay rights--just to name a few. This book makes you question who the true animals in the world are. The music, the art, the costumes and sets ... it was all perfect. Above all, however, the story itself is written in this very distinct way that sneaks into your heart and gives you hope. As del Toro himself put it: a love story for troubled times. It's not rose-tinted, on the contrary, but all the action from the political intrigues and conspiracies is just a frame for two individuals and their struggle through life that gets significantly better when they find each other. It's the delicacy of the relationship, the fact that they don't need words, that got under my skin certainly. Described as one half of a “bold two-tiered release”, The Shape of Water is the companion novel to the Guillermo del Toro film of the same name. But what exactly does this mean? Curiosity piqued, I decided to do some digging around, and found out that the idea for a story about a mute woman falling in love with an imprisoned river monster actually came to author Daniel Kraus when he was a teenager. In the years that followed, he continued to incubate the concept, until a meeting with del Toro became the spark that motivated Kraus to finally write the novel. The director also expressed interest in turning the idea into a movie, and so, both projects went forward at the same time while the two creators kept in touch. Eventually though, Kraus decided he wanted to finish his book without knowing any more about the film, so at that point both author and director agreed to each proceed with their own individual interpretation of the story. THE SHAPE OF WATER is a unique fairy tale love story that requires the reader to step out of the real world into one of fantasy and science fiction. humor mediterráneo, siciliano para más señas, diálogos delirantes pero cargados de ingenio y de intención, con trascendencia en la trama, naturalidad en el tratamiento de los temas: sexo, mafia, corrupción.Everyone of them is fighting their own battle, but it’s all intertwined in the end. And one or the other might be the one who offers to them a glimmer of hope, which they all desperately need. And I was desperately wishing for them to succeed.

The book is awesome, as long as you remind yourself to stay in the moment. The fantasy. The UNreality. Because, if not, you will be thinking weird shit, like me. See, I'm a weird shit thinker.
