A review by whothehelliskaitlin
In een ondiep graf by James Purdy

5.0

I absorbed this book within a day and I loved the ride it took me on. Did I understand everything that was happening and being said immediately? Nope. Regardless, I enjoyed reading Purdy's style of writing so much that it wasn't hard to keep reading. The southern feel of this book draws you in along with the characters. I had to keep reading to try to understand them better and to figure out their dynamics and motivations. And although I was immensely surprised by the supernatural elements that appear later in this book they only drove me on more. I also enjoyed the introspection in this book and the commentary on the treatment of veterans. What unexpected fun.
