The Riverman by Aaron Starmer

2.0

I wasn't terribly fond of the book from the get-go, which seemed to simultaneously idolize child-like innocence and tear it down with themes of violence and vague allusions to sexual abuse--if you can't handle it well, don't put it in. The ending, I think, was going for Pan's Labyrinth-esque ambiguity, and in my opinion failed spectacularly.
