A coworker of mine recommended this one to me and I'm SO glad he did. I'm still thinking about this one days later-- the characters are all so mysterious and quirky and I'm still trying to figure them out, the location is unreal and described so well, the animal life is written about beautifully, it's all just so other-worldly and bizarre that you can't put this one down. The narrator is unreliable (I still cannot be sure of what I think happened...) but in the best, most engaging way, not in a frustrating way. This one wasn't what I expected at all, but if you're a fan of things that leave you wondering, READ THIS ONE. It's worth every one of my 5 stars.
