DESCRIPTION:
Semaj said An Open-ended Shaggy Dog Tale. This novel wraps a series of character vignettes around an open-ended and only weakly developed mystery. Then it stops. If that sounds intriguing, read on.

I've been a fan of John Darnielle's work as a musician and an author for quite a while, so I may have a tinted view of his writing. While this book didn't quite live up to my expectations that were set by Wolf in White Van, it's still an engaging, thought-provoking novel that I read in one sitting. One of the best thing I think John does is tell people's stories, and give the stories that don't often get told a long-overdue and in-depth narration. The story doesn't draw you in because there's a heart-breaking romance or even an edge-of-your-seat mystery, it's because you get to see. Hard to explain Intrigued by several reviews, I downloaded this book and started reading it right away. The writing is lovely with a slightly creepy edge, and I found it difficult to put down. I agree with other readers----you won't feel satisfied with the resolution and you won't get the answers you want, but I believe that's the point. Once you read it through, you'll understand.
