Stupifyingly wondrous

Book Review: A weird little novel about a family in crisis. They live in the everglades of Florida wrestle alligators and run a failing gator park. 

Did I like it? 

Yes,  It took me about three chapters to really get invested but the author did a good job of devoloping the charactors and I got sucked into their story. 

The Good

This story takes you on a ride, each character in the book has such a different journey but somehow they all end up in the same place by the end. There is nothing cheesy about this book, I would not say that the ending is a happy one, but it left me feeling satisfied. 

The not so good

I found myself skimming some of the book to “get back to the story”.   The author tended to over describe some of the scenery, or go off on a tangent about swamp history it didn’t always flow well with the story. 

I really liked this book, its a quick read and keeps you entertained.
