Black Bird

It took a while for me to warm to this book, I read the first 20% some months ago before moving onto (many) other books. However, I was recently going through the “unread” in my collection alphabetically and came back to this one.

I didn't start from the beginning again and so some of it didn't make sense (especially the birds) due to forgetting a huge chunk of what had happened but I finally “got into” the book this time and finished it.

I rather enjoyed it, although I confess I didn't “get” the birds until the aftermath (assuming I got what the author intended). Perhaps I'm slow or perhaps it's from the bits I'd forgotten at the start.

So yes, eventually I enjoyed this book and will have a look at some of Greg's other works. Well, once I've cleared the 95 unread books backlog!
