A review by guiltlesspleasures
Alligator by Lisa Moore

4.0

This was a chance pick-up from the library - I'd never heard of Lisa Moore before. After a powerful opening chapter, this settles into shortish chapters from several characters' points of view. At first, I was a bit unsure that I could stick with her particular syntax for a whole book, but after that initial burst of fireworks, she toned it down a bit. It's really more a series of loosely vignettes than a 'complete' novel, but I enjoyed the characters' stories and admire her writing. It really only got gripping about a third of the way through, but it's worth checking out.
