kelroka 's review for:
Spoonbenders
by Daryl Gregory
Part heist story, part magical realism, and part humorous ode to the '90s, this genre-defying novel is a lot of fun! Spoonbenders is told from the POV of various members of the Telemachus family (all with varying degrees of psychic talent). In the beginning of the novel Gregory skillfully sets a number of balls rolling,all of which pay off delightfully for the reader in the end!
All in all, this was a fantastic book, which, once it got started, kept its frenetic pace throughout. I sincerely hope that someone is looking into making this into a movie or TV show as its format would lend itself perfectly to a visual medium (no pun intended).
I would recommend this book to folks who like their supernatural with a side of realism, or anyone who is a fan of the TV series Shut Eye.
