In the Suicide Mountains by John GardnerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I told myself I would dnf any book that wasn't a 4 or 5 star this year, and I feel like I should have done so with this one. But I finished it since it was A) short, B) by John Gardner. I enjoyed Grendel a lot, but for some reason this didn't really do it for me. It seemed to be a modern twist on a fairy tale (the setting is not modern, just ambiguous, but it isn't your average fairy tale either), but maybe it was just over my head or just not my cup of tea.
If the story sticks me with (as I see has been the case with other reviewers), I may change my rating, but there you go.
