endemictoearth's review
4.0
I loved the first 3/5 of this book. The character's voice is great, and I think comparisons with Alan Bennett are pretty accurate. And, like Bennett's work, things take a bit of a turn, well, quite a big turn. This book was very compelling, and though the ending was strange and unexpected, it didn't lessen my enjoyment of the first part. I didn't fell let down by it, let's just say that.
I'm going to give the book 4 stars, though it's really more of a 3.5 book for me. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but there's a lot to like, especially if you favor quirky books with singular narrators.
