amelia_p 's review for:

The Changeling by Victor LaValle
4.0

I found myself on the edge of my seat anticipating the next twist in this book, filled with mystery, betrayal and surprisingly references of mythology. I was not expecting this book to be filled with so many themes, but Lavalle incorporated many in a succinct way that added to the story and reading experience. The racism that the main character Apollo experiences further cemented the sense of loneliness and outlandish ostracism from society's reaction towards his tragedy. Even if you do not have much experience with horror or mystery, this is definitely a good place to start.
