A review by notasilkycat
The Nix by Nathan Hill

4.5

Absolutely love it! This is such a mature book that it’s hard to believe you’re reading a debut novel. What surprises me most how precise in his observations the author is, how neatly he builds the structure of his book, how deep and fascinating his characters are. I must say for such the beast of a book it keeps its reader in the permanent tension though you hardly can call this a book of action. While reading I kept catching myself on slowing down deliberately, so little I was ready to turn the last page and at the same time not able to put it down.
