patso23 's review for:
Hummingbird Salamander
by Jeff VanderMeer
I really like vandermeer but feel this wasn't his strongest.
The singular POV, while adding a sense of claustrophobia and paranoia, just didn't work for me when the protagonist somehow wasn't very interesting.
Also distracting was the liberal use of adjectives in place of adverbs. It always distracted me, and couldn't tell why it was part of the voice. Came off like an affectation going for Cormac mccarthy but not pulling it off.
Will still read his next book
