Or, you can do what I did, and slowly explore each page (in order) - tapping the page to move things to discover what's underneath, listening to the music, and watching the videos.Ĭhopsticks is both a love story and a mystery. The book app is interactive, but you can simply flip through the pages in order or randomly if you'd like. I read this story via its iPhone app, which is such a unique way to experience a book!

You are completely engrossed and don't want to stop until the end, but you know that it's not your life, and that it has all already happened. It's almost like finding someone's journal and looking through it. The only problem with this storytelling, is you feel very outside the loop. The pictures and illustrations were well done and told a story of struggle and love. Much like a book written in verse, so few words hold volumes. It's a little tricky reviewing a book with hardly any words in it, but I can say that this was breathtaking. They need to find their place in the world.
