4.0

Mark Haddon is known for The Curious Incident About the Dog in the Night, and this is not that book. It's an over the top look at a dysfunctional family in the throws of a wedding, and fears of certain death. It's funny and it's great, and at times it's touching. It made me feel better about my family.

LOVED this book! It's a dark story about a group of college students. The book opens with Bunny's death and the story that unfolds was seriously one of the best stories I've ever read. Love it!

I read this book and fell in love with it! Steven Hall is an amazing writer. His prose is amazing, but the story is just as good. It's a crazy original story that grabs a hold of you and doesn't let go until the very end. But it doesn't even let go you then. It's so good. Read it!
