A review by katiebrumbelow
Observatory Mansions by Edward Carey

3.0

this took a while to finish. it seemed to be heavy with symbolism and would require thought and time. i can't decide if it's 3 or 4 stars. original idea. i enjoyed his series "heap house". i could see the makings of that story in this one which was cool. but, it's filled with unusual people with impossible circumstances - a man who sat unmoving for years - that it takes more to imagine and continue along. but, i am glad i read it.
