A review by fablejack
Winner of the National Book Award: A Novel of Fame, Honor, and Really Bad Weather by Jincy Willett

3.0

Really funny at times and with excellent and intriguing use of language, which is one of the things I liked most about "Jenny and the Jaws of Life." However, the main characters seem underdeveloped though it's all about the characters. For example, the narrator alternately let us know her or her sister and then would distance us from either of them, which I found distracdting and made it harder to engage. Really picks up when Conrad enters the picture around page 100.
