eclecticheart 's review for:

Mr. Vertigo by Paul Auster
4.0

This isn't your typical Paul Auster. I tend to think of his works as contemporary New York, but this is a Great Depression era novel set primarily in the Midwest. That said, a number of his common themes shine through. It is the tale of a boy who is whisked away from his family with promises of fame and fortune. This brings me roughly half-way through my collection and it was a nice change of pace.
