A review by eric_roling
Bowlaway by Elizabeth McCracken

Ugh. Perhaps I need a new reading rule - if the description or major review of a book uses the word "quirky", that is at least 2 strikes against a book. This was a tedious read, compounded by the author inserting themselves too far into the narrative to tell you how you should feel about each character or event. Don't do that - just tell the story and let me decide if I like someone or think a choice was poor.
