Light Boxes: A Novel by Shane Jones
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Light Boxes is about a town experiencing a perpetual winter and an end to flight (birds, balloons) at the hand of February.
I enjoyed this book. It was really sweet, gentle, soothing even. Although I did at one time get confused with February.
Some of the typography decisions really worked and added to the feel of the novel, while others I could have done without. I liked more of the atypical typography than I disliked, however. The chapters start in various ways and sometimes it's first person while others there is a narrator, which I didn't feel added to the story in any other way than to make it different.
It's a quick read and it's definitely different than the majority of books out there, so if you're looking to shake up your reading habits, you can't go wrong with this novel.
