Reviews

[Jess Ray]

I had a particularly hard time getting through the first hundred pages of this book. I was about to give up completely when I saw that the first part had ended and it skipped ahead ten years. The second part was much easier to get through, but still couldn't quite make up for the weird story pacing and oddly whiney but (sort of) self-flagelating main character.

The description of the book made it sound much like Odd Thomas, a detective character with a boring life (for Odd Thomas, fry cook, for this guy, bartender) who comes across metaphysical problems that require a belief in the unusual. In actuality it read like a nosy man poking into people's history because he's bored with trying to figure out the meaning of life.

I could picture the setting (in my hometown) exactly as the author (my uncle) intended. Very cool!
