it was amazing
bookshelves: free-library, literary-fiction

What's this now? A poetic, insanely beautiful and innovative novel that's so creepy and suspenseful Stephen King would be proud to have written it? The story of Lanny was not as unique as Porter's earlier book, Grief Is the Thing with Feathers, but it's so beautifully rendered and so much fun to read that for me it ultimately surpasses that book by a nose, specifically a piece of junkyard detritus attached to the face of a terrifying tree monster at approximately where the nose should be. Recommended!

Thanks, Kelli! I was actually really far behind on my reviews and posted a ton of them yesterday, so it's possible you didn't miss any of mine!
