The Book of Speculation by Erika Swyler

2.0

I really wanted to love this book. I think the concept is great and I like the story going back into family history and then the current date, and carnival life, and "mermaids". And the metaphor of the house crumbling....BUT, alas, it was kinda boring. Downright snoozirific. It just plodded on and on and really the only thing that kept me going was that I loved the Audible narrator (Ari Fliakos) - he was GREAT. Maybe it will be made into a really fantastic movie.
