adam_mcphee 's review for:
The Trees
by Percival Everett
Put off reading this for a long time but I'm glad I finally did. I think seeing that it was a crime novel with a supernatural element put me off a little, not that I was worried that it wouldn't be wrapped up neatly (who cares about that?), but because to my mind good crime novels right now are about exploring place, and hearing there was a supernatural element made me guess there wouldn't be any of that. I was right, but this isn't a crime novel. It just has some cops and murder to kick things off. Anyway none of that matter because this one is good. It's really good.
Could be just the southern setting but this reminded me a bit of Charles Portis, although maybe it's just because they both wrote books that have some extremely funny bits but that would be spoiled if they were sold as comedies.
