Odsburg by Matt Tompkins
3.0
Odsburg is a collection of short vignettes that weaves together the obscure, weird, and abnormal events the people of Odsburg, Washington experience. I would give this book a 3.5 out of 5 stars. While the stories are imaginative and fun to read about, I couldn't help feeling like I wanted something more.
The book seemed to have some background conspiracies about the town's pharmaceutical company and the effects their products have on the people of Odsburg. I was hoping the book would delve deeper into that sort of thing. While the book had some unique qualities and an interesting writing style, I felt there was no real conclusion by the end. I'm a big fan of magical realism, but this book was just not for me.
