5 Weird Stars!
Tremendous, deep, and rich. The characterizations are superb: the protagonist/first person narrator Lillian, her "best friend" Madison, the "Fire Kids" Bessie and Roland; even secondary characters such as Lillian 's mother, Madison's horrid father, Senator Jasper Roberts, his henchman Carl, the children's maternal grandparents. Also here the quality of "Weird " is a character all in itself. You're familiar with "Place" as Character? Author Kevin Wilson introduces us to "Weird" as Character; as Flavor; as Setting. Welcome to the contemporary Twilight Zone.
NOTHING TO SEE HERE is a "Wow" book. Termed "perfect " by the Washington Post, I agree. I"ll be coming back to this one!
