A review by charlesmrose
In the House Upon the Dirt Between the Lake and the Woods by Matt Bell

slow-paced

3.25

I liked this just fine, but I would have liked it a lot more if it had been 100 to 200 pages shorter. Could've been a novella, honestly. The best parts are pretty front loaded and the second half read a lot like the author just didn't know how to end it, or didn't want it to end, so it just kept going. And going. And going. And going. And going. And going. The fairytale/fable style just doesn't hold up for that long.
