A review by librariandest
Rotters by Daniel Kraus
3.0
Dark, disgusting, disturbing. There were a few choice passages that almost had me gagging from the wretchedness of it all. If you're the kind of person who watches The Killing or likes zombie books, this might be for you. Otherwise, not recommended--especially for people who eat while they read.
I have to say, the audiobook (winner of the 2012 Odyssey Award) was so exquisitely done. I'd probably give the book itself two stars, but the audio performance bumps it up to three. Kirby Heyborne, the narrator, gave each character his own voice, from the low grumble of Joey's father Harnett, to the insane shrieking of Boggs. His voices for Reverend Knox and Lionel were distinct and old and magical.
Still, a completely deranged book.
