WE ARE ALL COMPLETELY FINE lived up to the hype

Paul Nelson on his own site PaulN72- Read or Dead enjoyed Daryl Gregory’s We Are All Completely Fine.

We are all Completely Fine was recommended by a hell of a lot of friends in the blogging world, so I approached it expecting big things and did it live up to the hype, damn right it did.

Intriguing world building, characters tinged in tragedy, a history of darkness and things on the periphery, not seen by all and on top of that monsters with names such as the Scrimshander, a carver of bones. All good so far.

I won’t give anymore plot details away except to say, thanks for the recommendation because this is an awesome novella, you know a novella is good when you feel like you’ve read something a lot more substantial and that is how this feels.

This looks to be Daryl Gregory’s first foray into this world and I have to say it can’t be his last, he’s hit on something memorable and I hope there’s more to come.
