A review by drtlovesbooks
Harrison Squared by Daryl Gregory
Did not finish book.
I SHOULD love this book - it sits squarely within the realm of several genres I like. And it's gotten good reviews from other folks. But I just couldn't get into it.
I think part of it may be that it references Lovecraft both explicitly and implicitly, and I've just never been a big Lovecraft fan. There's also something about the first person narration that turned me off almost immediately. I don't mind first person, but this particular character had a "tone" in my head that felt like nails on a chalkboard. I got about 10 pages in and couldn't go on.
