Especially when, as is the case with The Only Good Indians, there is humor woven in amongst the blood & gore, and the readers is never quite sure who's "good" versus who's "bad."
The tension throughout the story is palpable and perfect, and I loved the choices Jones made re: narration. It allows you to feel as if you're constantly slipping in & out of various characters' perspectives, which gets you into the headspace of a collective identity that our four main characters are trying so hard to embody while also keeping it at arm's length.
I'll definitely be picking up SGJ's other stories!

I just couldn't stop. The story is fast paced, has some beautiful imagery and atmosphere on top of the unsettling and disturbing scenes. For me it wasn't so scary as people mentioned, but the fear factor is really subjective. For me personally, it was mostly very, very sad. Just so depressing and deeply sorrowful, but it is what really resonated with me, what caught me in the net of this story and kept me interested. That also means I listened through the whole novel with a feeling of being punch in a gut but I also enjoyed it completely.
