I picked up this book after hearing LaValle talk about mental illness, monsters, and family cults on NPR's Fresh Air, and I was surprised when I started his book at how simple his style seems to be, almost like he's writing for young adults or something. But, after a couple of pages I'm like "OH so THIS is his style," and it seems he can really tell a story and say a lot with it. Next time I'll read for hours.
