Title: A little too real...
Review: If you're looking for fast-paced action, keep looking. But if you enjoy stream of consciousness narration, if you've ever looked in a mirror and wondered if the person there is truly the person you have become, well then--stop for a moment--you're about to be enthralled. 'Silence in October' is filled with delicious drop-you-in-the-scene descriptions, isolated moments that pass before they register and others that stretch out and disappear into forever. If you've ever lost someone, if you've ever been lost, if you've ever wondered how you became the person you are, if you've ever made a mistake, if you've ever committed a sin, this book will wrap itself around you and most likely will never let you go. Grondahl's use of Time and Space as a metaphor--for just about everything!--is exquisite. Do not deprive yourself of this thoroughly enjoyable experience.
