Foe

'That's what time does. It ushers a return to equilibrium.'
There is something about Iain Reid's writing that immediately syncs up with me. No, I did not like "Foe" as well as his first novel, but this does nothing to taint my taste for his writing. Altogether different subject matter, with this one it was a feeling of unease rather than dread. I had an inkling, something seems to be "off" here, but I did not glom onto the entirety of it.

Clever, Zoey! I felt much the same as you on this one.

You’re no poacher, Zoey... it’s just a case of great minds thinking alike :)

Wonderful review, ZT! You have me intrigued, but maybe I should check out his first novel...first!

Terrific review, Zoeytron! I have one other of Iain Reid's books and I'm looking forward to reading it as well as this one (once I have it in hand :)

Zoey, I enjoy your reviews so much. You say a few sentences and it all ties together. And you are humorous!📚🐾💕

Good deal, Elyse. Since you liked "Foe" and "We Spread", I can't imagine you won't dig "I'm Thinking of Ending Things". It's even darker than those two, and easily my favorite of the bunch. Thanks!
