Just completed #21 (musical group) - The Ballad of Perilous Graves by Alex Jennings. I really wanted to like this book but in the end it was too disjointed and strange for me. It has an interesting concept, I loved all the New Orleans references, and the music references were fascinating. But I was left confused about what was happening for most of the book. And I felt like the writing had holes in it. Ultimately this was not an enjoyable read for me. I received this book as a free giveaway in exchange for my honest review. 2 stars
