Book Reviews of Riddley Walker, Expanded Edition
Book Review: A WORK OF GENIUS, UNQUALIFIED
Summary: 5 Stars
A Wells Fargo bank teller named Joe recommended this book to me;what a favor, what a gift, and all I was doing is depositing a check. Without any qualification whatsoever, this is an original work of genius, completely realized, profound, gripping, extremely funny, utterly without padding almost a poem in that way, a brilliant story arc, it held me in thrall, it has me in awe. It takes about 10 pages to get used to the language, then you realize it could be no other way.
