A review by emmabussolotta
Scowler by Daniel Kraus

3.0

Something about this lacked the lyricism of Kraus' other works. As always with Kraus' books, I appreciate the mental health messages, and the emphasis on the lack of treatment and lack of belief. But something was missing from this book.

I think Kraus is very smart in real life, and while he plays that up in Zebulon Finch and Rotters, it seems like he downplayed it in Scowler for the benefit of the reader.

I'm also sad because I know how Ry's story really ended.
