kanissa 's review for:
Wolf in White Van
by John Darnielle
It took me a couple years to actually read this, after it was given to me as a gift. My sister thought I would find it interesting given my roleplaying game hobby.
The timeline jumps around a lot, moving mostly backwards from the present. But it takes the entire novel for you to get to the act that set the narrator's life in motion. The constant shift could be a bit jarring at times and make it complicated to unravel the tale (although I think that was the point)
All in all it was an interesting and unique story. While the constant time jumping annoyed me, it was really what gave the story its impact. It would not have been as interesting if told in a straightforward, chronological order.
