nancidrum 's review for:
Vampires in the Lemon Grove
by Karen Russell
This collection of odd eccentric stories was a disappointment for me. No doubt that Karen Russell knows how to work with words in a very original way, but the story telling wasn't always clear. A few I was left pondering "what did I just read". I did enjoy about half of the stories, but they did leave me yearning for more of an ending. It really helped me at the end to read the book group discussion questions as she draws parallels across the stories. I would not have seen those and it added to the stories when I realized how they connected in different ways.
