A review by rosalind14
Winter Town by Stephen Emond
3.0
I don't have much to say about Winter Town, I think because I can't even put my finger on why I didn't much like it. It was fairly well written and all, but there was a strange detachment to it such that I feel like I missed a couple chapters by mistake, or maybe fell asleep in the middle. It felt realistic, but almost TOO realistic-- like I was intruding into the lives of strangers, not people worthy of having a book written about them. Also it wasn't too exciting--nothing really happened-- and the characters and their stories weren't very compelling. Otherwise, though, I enjoyed it well enough.
Apologies for the sort of nonsensical review, but I'll end it by saying that I'm sure it's a likable book for someone who's not me, so it's definitely worth a try-- especially if you're a fan of graphic art (which I'm not, really).
Oh, and this really annoyed me (and probably me alone): the main character's name is Evan Owens. Evan and Owen are both forms of the name John. Ugh.
