The best thing this book has going for it is an impressive, haunting setting. If Upstate New York is really as hauntingly beautiful as this book suggests, if there are truly these abandoned buildings buried in the forest than I want to go there, before I go anywhere else.
See my reviews for the Lake of Dead Languages, because many of the same complaints apply. I like Goodman, but her books seem to be the same--especially her main characters. Sure, they have different names and usually are struggling with different circumstances, but her reliance on the first person leaves me struggling to distinguish one from the other.
