Title: Dry Black Comedy
Review: The Restaint of Beasts probably isn't for everyone, but it is one of my favorite novels and maybe one of the most brilliant first novels ever. As other reviewers have said, Mills uses a spare, deadpan approach; his humor is dry. The comedy is black and not all will find the events depicted here funny. I had an idea who Tam and Richie(two laborers building an extremely long fence)were, but it was mostly in my own imagination because Mills doesn't give us much character description.I thought this was a witty and captivating tale with an eerie sense of impending doom hanging over the proceedings. I recommend this book to fans of offbeat literature.
