A review by georgiesutton
The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones

dark mysterious tense slow-paced

3.0

I found the story overall really good and interesting, but I felt like the writing style really ruined this book for me. The pacing was off and some sentences and paragraphs were impossible to follow which meant action would happen but I’d be confused about what actually happened. Especially in a book where reality is questioned, I found key events were not well described. I loved the family and friendship dynamics, the basketball and native culture, but some bits dragged and some were just plain confusing. 

Overall I feel like it was a really intriguing premise but between the pacing and the writing it wasn’t all that enjoyable to read.
