Pay attention! I’ve given very few books such a high score of 9. We’ve read it in both book groups, BookPub (7/10) and Waterstones and the reactions have been so extreme, many say they couldn’t get into it, others thought it a fantastic novel. I’d recommend listening to it if you can. Don’t get hung up on the written text and the voice of the villages, you don’t need to understand it. Lanny is a young boy who may or may not have magical powers, when Dead Papa Toothwort returns to the sleepy English village things get a tad weird. Modern fiction at it’s finest.
Score 9/10
