simonbauer 's review for:

Gods, Monsters, and the Lucky Peach by Kelly Robson

4.0

---

Not a single word is wasted in this 227-page book. Nearly every sentence drives the narrative forward while nuggets of expository detail are spread throughout like chocolate chips in a perfectly balanced sweet bread. There were several ways this story could have collapsed under its own weight, and Robson avoided every one of them.
