Downtown Owl by Chuck Klosterman
4.0
Reading Chuck Kloserman is always hit or miss with me. Sometimes I think he's clever and enjoy all the sly little pop culture references. Sometimes I think he's smug and not nearly as interesting as he thinks he is.
I think that fiction is actually a great medium for him. He gets to throw in all the 80s pop culture references to provide credibility and a sense of timeline; and he does it well because he's so well-versed on it.
I enjoyed the literary device of the story being told from multiple perspectives. It was handled well and kept things moving fast.
This was a quick, fun read and I'd highly recommend it.
