A review by saffronso
Clown Girl, by Monica Drake

4.0

I really enjoyed this book. The introduction by Chuck Palahniuk was lovely, and I saw similarities between their styles. I really enjoyed the unique perspective and quirky ideas scattered throughout. It had a bit less of the weird 'flair'/repetition that Palahniuk has mastered. Nita/Sniffles is misunderstood and seems to find herself in continually worsening situations. While her train of logic may not be ideal, but I enjoy her continual struggle to remain dignified in a profession that is generally not considered very classy. I really liked the ending. I expected that she was glorifying Rex, and it was great to see her be able to break out of her rut of an obsession with him and move on.
