Swamplandia!

I'm sitting here trying to think of critiques or compliments to give this book. None are coming to mind. That's how I feel about the entirety of Swamplandia!: I read the whole thing, I was interested enough in the plot, but in the end I can barely remember what happened - except, of course, that I was disappointed in the resolution of Ossie's plot line (I'd hoped it would go in the opposite direction, which would have made the book a lot more interesting to me), and there's a scene toward the end with Ava that came out of nowhere. Since the two things I remember most are both plot points I disliked, I'm not at all inclines to rec the book to anyone.
