Negative Positive
Title: A great collection; kind of a funky size, though
Review: It's short and thick, would have preferred a larger binding. But, the content is great. I'm almost done with the first novel (also Hoban's first). If you are already a Hoban fan, you can't go wrong with this, as it collects several of his novels into one package. If you're looking to get introduced to him, you also can't go wrong with this, although I would add that I think Mouse and His Child, Riddley Walker, and Kleinzeit are must-haves. For my money, there's very few writers who capture these themes as well as Hoban does. He is a master who deserves a lot more credit/publicity.
Is the review positive or negative?
