A Good and Happy Child by Justin Evans

3.0

It has been compared to _The Secret History_ and was recommended in "O" and a few other choice spots so I figured, 'why not?'. Well, meh. It's OK. Not anywhere as compelling at _The Secret History_ but it also leaves more than a few loose ends that I'm not sure if Evans feels as if he tied up, if he just plain ran out of steam or if he wasn't sure anyone would notice. I did and you likely will too. Interesting in spots but I wasn't wowed. Would give 2.5 stars if I could so felt generous and rounded up.
