Swamplandia!

When I was living in Seattle this book was everywhere and I never read it. Now I finally have!

There were some things that didn't jive for me so I have to go with a three ... specifically as another reviewer said there's a very bad thing that happens late in the book that for me seems a little too “randomly planned.” You see that it's going to happen but you don't really know why or how it advances the book.

Messy. The narrative got really messy at points. But the writing is seriously amazing, enough so to make me forgive the inconsistencies and the multiple narrative voices.
