Good writing, sometimes beautiful writing. Got weirder as it went on, and I liked it less as it went on.

I wish there were half stars; this one didn't quite make three stars. The language was wonderful and the story started off well. It just got too weird for me towards the end.

I heard Stacey D'Erasmo read from this novel late last year at the Happy Endings reading series, and I was hooked. I bought a copy as soon as it came out this January, and it didn't disappoint. The novel's main character is, in many ways, not a good guy, but there's still something incredibly attractive about him, and he makes quite a compelling narrator with quite a strange and interesting story to tell. Much as I enjoyed the story, though, the best thing about the novel is D'Erasmo's prose. She has a gift for observation and description that dazzled me more than once. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
