beagley 's review for:

The Game of Sunken Places by M.T. Anderson
DID NOT FINISH

Kept somewhat afloat by Anderson's really deep and powerful creativity, this book seems to have self-imposed limitations that keep it from rising above boring. Anderson's "Feed" is one of my favorite modern books, so I will keep looking for his awesomeness, but this book didn't click for me. Opening with a disastrous "prologue" and being the first of a series where one book would suffice ultimately make this a stinker.

Middle-grade, YA readers might love it, and there's still flashes of brilliance buried in the book.
