620 pages of pure literary delight. Wow! What an incredible debut novel.
This book is way too long and disorganized. Also the repetition of sentence structure (short sentences, excessively descriptive) drove me nutso. This is honestly a story that I could see doing much better on a screen. Especially the wrap up, which feels like it was written as a film. There's plenty of drama here, which keeps the pages turning. I didn't hate it, but I do feel a bit frustrated that Hill or his editor couldn't pare this thing down.
Brilliant! I can't remember another book that caused me to have as many out loud reactions as "The Nix."

This is a really impressive debut novel. Easily the best book I've read this year. The last fourth of the book is riveting.
I loved this book and the different themes and meanings. I do just wish some of it would be cut down, more 3/4 of the way through it gets even more sense and goes off on tangents that don’t serve much purpose beyond adding pages
