Pandora in the Congo by Albert Sánchez Piñol
5.0
This was absolutely the wildest book I've ever read.
I saw it on the New Books shelf at the library and just picked it up, something I almost never do. I went home and finished it in two days. Something that's more impressive once you know I'm a full time student and work several part time jobs. But I was so shaken by this book I just kept reading it.
I've never read something so enormously fictitious, and yet written in a manner that I had to remind myself at several points that it was in fact a work of fiction. If you're looking for a twisting book filled to the brim with mysterious characters and frighteningly realistic stories, this book was written to fit those specific desires.
