As with Open City, I found Tremor to be thought-provoking in a way that disturbs and excites in the same breath. I’m intrigued at some of the choices T.C. made in the storytelling and how much I seemed to enjoy them despite the unconventionality of the tale. Given that it appears to be one of those books that opens up differently to a reader with every read, I very much look forward to what new insights a second read might hold.
