Dark Spring by Unica Zürn
4.0
I read this book because greg told me to and I am highly susceptible to peer pressure, mainly because Greg has yet to recommend a book that I did not think was very good, and I even have his copy so it cost me no money and only about an hour of my time.
The book itself was infact like reading a disturbing peanuts cartoon. I cannot for the life of me figure out why this character is 12 except perhaps for it's effect, because it certainly has the problems of the adult author that it mirrors.
It is one of the few books that I think on some level loses a star for not being enough. The story has so much potential that seems lost perhaps in the inability of words to truly provoke emotion.
