Doughnut

Fun. It's been two decades since I last read Holt, almost that long since I stopped looking for more books by him. What a treat to discover that he's writing again!

Doughnut is pretty much what I expected—deliciously so. Surreal, whimsical, charming, lighthearted, but also mature. I'm looking forward to catching up on the last ten years of Holt.

This was enjoyable, but would have been excellent had it been 100 pages shorter. Clever only lasts for so long until it begins to grate on your nerves. I enjoyed popping into alternate realities, and not the constant fight between brothers which, as I saw it, had no background and did not make that much sense. That said, I can totally see Martin Freeman playing Theo in the movie and I would love to see another novel based in the sky world.
