A review by rouver
By Night Vol. 2 by John Allison
2.0
Look, John Allison writes some weird stories w/ weird characters...but they eventually grow on you, and you can follow the plot. But this one is weirder than his others & having this story broken up in to multiple volumes is making it pretty difficult to keep track of what's going on. These characters aren't as likeable as the ones I ended up *loving* in his Giant Days (college girls) or Bad Machinery (teenage sleuths of the supernatural) series...but I'm holding out hope.
Seeing as I read this a while ago & can't remember what exactly happened, I'll leave the synopsis to someone else.
For right now, I recommend holding off until the whole thing is published, THEN having a crack at it. In the meantime, go & read one of this other series. They're delightful! (If you look at my reviews for Bad Machinery, I've included links to the books you can read online for free. I still recommend reading them in book form, but you can get a feel for whether or not his style is for you)
