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

3.0

I mostly didn't like this book. Some parts of it were okay. Some days I could read a good chunk. Others I just didn't have the patience to get past a few pages. I didn't think it was reaching with its language, most of it seemed pretty straightforward to me. It was just the technique I didn't care for. But Bell committed to it and hey, he got it published, so good on him.

Actually, sometimes when I was reading it I liked to pretend that the narrator was just over the top unreliable and borderline insane, and that none of this stuff was happening as he related it, but it was just how he perceived it. Makes it a little funnier that way.
