A review by emjay24
Model Home by Eric Puchner

4.0

The thought of a family living in a model home brought to my mind the show Arrested Development. The book actually kinda started out more like this, a dark comedy with a lot of really weird people. In the middle, there's a giant twist. I can't tell you what it is, but it really changes so much. Act two has lost most of the comedy out of the dark comedy, but i'd already gotten so invested in the characters, who I found to be pretty likeable, that i wanted to read more. I love reading, and watching, about families of weirdos. I started reading another book in a series i love, but even though i love that book, i just kept being compelled to come and read this book. it drew me in, great storytelling, and what imagination. the only thing i did not like was the end. it was an indie movie end. i hate endings like that. even though the book had an indie ending, the people didn't talk in that annoying indie way throughout the book. i definitely identified with them. I did not expect to enjoy the book as much as i did, and i really did enjoy it. A definite read!
