Fool on the Hill by Matt Ruff
4.0
Matt Ruff is so bizarre. and I love it.
So far, in my reading experience, he is three for three with weird, nonsensical novels that exactly hit the mark. He capitalizes on telling stories that are so outside the box that there is no way they can't work. Fool on the Hill was a massive amount of character and plot development, with a very quick climax of the many, many story lines involved. While some may view it as an abrupt end, I found the intricate weave of the novel was remarkably enjoyable. At the very least, it was a delightfully fun read.
