Down the Rabbit Hole by Juan Pablo Villalobos

3.0

I was close to giving this four stars; the writing was excellent, the child believable. Every part of it worked, and the strongest thing was how well it showed the full extent of horrible things through an innocent's eyes, giving us full knowledge of many things that he himself does not understand. It seemed as though it could have been more, though. Perhaps it was the pace I read it at, but it seemed as if it could have lingered longer, meandered through its parts at a more leisurely pace, maybe followed events further. Very thought-provoking and interesting, and extremely well-written, however.
