Universal Harvester by John Darnielle
2.0
The Good: The cover is beautiful.
The Bad: Universal Harvester sucks. What a shame because John Darnielle's first novel, Wolf in White Van was fantastic. This second novel is dreary and unfocused. There's a plot, but it goes nowhere slowly. The acknowledgements at the end describe the novel as "about mothers." If you say so. If you haven't read Wolf in White Van, drop this and go read it. If you have read his first book and are looking forward to this one... sorry, guys. Thumbs down.
