I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
Let a felon into your house, and you'll get your dead son back!
Then again, I didn't understand like any of this book. It was good and creepy and this mashup of all these ideas, but I don't understand.
Five stars for me loving the writing, though. This was beautiful and built up tension nicely, so much so that I could feel my throat close up, and I'd get all tense.
Look, you might understand it more than I did, or you might not. But it's a damn fine rad, and it's not like it's all explained: I don't know who/what/where the felon is, but damn, he is creepy! All the more so for the good he does, the good that comes at a price, and the lies he tells along the way.
Whatever he is, brilliantly done authors! Huzzah!
