Sharp Teeth - Toby Barlow I am not
a fan of verse even free verse. I like proper grammar and
paragraphs and commas. So I was wary
about
reading this book when I saw
crazy staggering lines of text wandering around my nook screen.

But
a friend's review made me reconsider
and so I read the book and I mostly liked it.
Mostly.
Mostly because I still don't like verse
even when it's free. Also because I want to see the picture that is
being painted not just be told
what it's of. I feel like too much
of Sharp Teeth was
telling
telling
telling
and not enough showing. And the book is kind of schizophrenic
jumping here and now there and then
somewhere
else randomly. Is it now? Or is it then? When is then?
Who is she?

I liked
the love story and
Anthony
on the beach and vulnerable. I liked the dog
angle and the brutality
but a single dog cannot eat an entire human and then have human
dinner too. It would
'splode.

Not bad
but I was ready for it
to end when it did.

I'm getting a dog.
Know any good shelters?
