A review by jaclyncrupi
Perfect Little World by Kevin Wilson

3.0

I liked this more than I thought I would. Wilson is obviously interested in eccentric childhoods and their effects in a Wes Anderson way. This book unfolds over ten years in a utopian collective where children are raised collectively. I wish he had allowed the situation to get as completely batshit crazy as something this weird could get - I think he held back on this one (unlike in his previous novel The Family Fang). It's a solid read though.
