The Changeling by Victor LaValle
5.0

One of my great lamentations is that I'm better at expressing myself when I dislike a book than when I'm enchanted by one. If I hadn't enjoyed this, I'd have plenty to pick apart and poke fun at. As it is, though, I find myself at a loss for words.

I'm a little bit in love with this book. It's a fairytale. It's a monster story. It's folklore in a modern setting. It's the overwhelming love of a parent, and the terrible fear of a parent, too.

I only finished it this morning, but I can already tell that this will be a story that climbs into my soul and takes up residence there. I wish I had the words to adequately explain just how much I loved it.

Go read this freakin' book, y'all. Oh my gosh.
