A review by celestelee
Downtown Owl by Chuck Klosterman

4.0

My first book by this author. I was looking at reviews from this and other books of his and they felt somewhat like a cult following. I don't mean that in a negative way. It's just that there is something about the way he writes and his fans seem to hold that sacred, especially when his works are compared to another author. His character development puts me in mind of Fredrick Backman, whom I believe to be phenomenal. Didn't give it five stars because it began a bit mundane and I wasn't sure it was going anywhere...until it did. The ending was awesome and totally unexpected which almost made me forget about the more mundane. Worth the read or a listen, which is the way I roll
