Geek Love by Katherine Dunn
3.0

This book was insanely imaginative, but I sort of got tired of it by the end. I think the original premise: a circus owner/performer and his wife purposely try to have freak children to work for their circus is pretty compelling. The story is told from the perspective of a hunchbacked dwarf, and I really liked some of the story telling, but by the end I was wishing it would have stuck to more simple story line. This book is so strange I have a hard time even explaining or reviewing it. I did enjoy it though.
