dancbishop 's review for:
We the Animals
by Justin Torres
Pages 1 - 103, I really enjoyed. Seemed a little workshop to me, but it was fresh and powerful and layered on something I recognize as truth even if I've never been in that world.
The last 20 pages are probably no less true (well, maybe a little less true). But it's a completely different truth than what the rest of the book was setting up. And the turn is so jarring and ended so abruptly, I'm not sure astronauts punching through the atmosphere have to handle that many g's.
The ending just blew away all the good work that proceeded it, so overall I'm left feeling a little jilted.
