The Mostly True Story of Jack by Kelly Barnhill

5.0

This was one of the most interesting and truly unique MG fiction books I've read in a long time, and 3/4 of it had my neck prickling in anticipation of the next chapter. The final 1/4 had me wanting to shake the thing until all the answers fluttered out, and then slap it for good measure for acting so bloody coy. :P It lost a bit of traction at the end, I think, and I was left with lots of questions. That said, this book fascinated me with it's rich world and unique mystery in a way that I haven't been drawn in for quite some time.
