A review by eiron
The Familiar, Volume 1: One Rainy Day in May by Mark Z. Danielewski

4.0

A bit of summer downtime and I had the opportunity to really absorb the book, as intended. Really thrilled by every page - managing to stay captivating across its 800-odd pages and promising much of future volumes. It remains to be seem how Danielewski will keep up the pace, but if anybody can write a 27-volume novel and not have it go stale, then he would be our best hope. Very much looking forward to volume 2.
