Heap House by Edward Carey
3.0

Very bizarre book. The author drops his reader into the middle of his fuddled world right at the beginning, but it's fun to discover the intricacies of the Heap House alongside Clod and Lucy. It's an enjoyable read despite the book's nightmarish attributes. Carey misuses or overuses commas, in my humble opinion, but besides that the narration and description is well developed and impressive for a YA novel. I was very pleased to discover that Carey's world is both well thought-out and skillfully executed. Hooray!
