A review by lyrrael
Sparrow Hill Road by Seanan McGuire
5.0
Damnit. This book kept me up til 4 a.m. on a work night.
Honestly, that's all the review it really needs, in my opinion, and this is the morning after, so some (groggy) thoughts:
- I got an American Gods vibe off of this. If someone hasn't done it already, someone ought to mail Neil Gaiman a copy of this and tell him to read it because some of the 'flavor' is the same and I loved it.
- I live an hour southeast of Ann Arbor. I.....I really want to know where Buckley Township is in Seanan's head. Really really. Because the town I live in could totally be it. Any of the little towns surrounding me could totally be it. It's so neat (and new) to see where I live reflected in books -- I guess Michigan just isn't cool enough to make it into any other stories.
I think that's all the thinking I can muster this morning. Gods.
