Book Reviews of Observatory Mansions: A Novel
Book Review: A Favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is bursting with twisted humor, and I must say that it is certainly in my top three (although first, second and third are not designated for I am always changing my mind). It is a love story, yes, but I could hardly call it even remotely schmaltzy,although the main character's love for Anna is sort of innocently and naively cute. If you question your own sanity, check this book out. Nearly all of the characters have their own little post-traumatic neurosis, which keeps you wrapped up in the novel's witty juices.
