Welcome to Night Vale by Jeffrey Cranor, Joseph Fink

4.0

---

I recently discovered WTNV (the podcast) and was instantly in love with the town and all of its citizens. So as you can imagine , upon hearing about a book, I had to read it straight away! At first, the book felt a but clumsy and awkward to read as it is unusual seeing the writing style and humour written down, let alone reading it rather than listening. However after a few reading out loud sessions i soon got into the swing of the book. The story was a bit haphazard to begin with but the book does a great job of creating characters that you want to invest your feelings in. It was nice to get the perspective of some of the normal citizens as well as incorporating the lovely Cecil and Carlos. The book progressed during the last 150 pages or so and i found myself loving the heartfelt ending and pretty good backstory info about the man in the tan jacket. I am still mid-podcast in the 2014 area so until i get further along I'm not getting to the next book quite yet. So i take you now, dear review readers, to the weather.
