Special Topics in Calamity Physics
by Marisha Pessl
Much too much (4/27/2022)
Moves a long at a goodish pace through its chubby, padded 500 pages. Overdone, in love with stylish tricks and plot complexities (not always successful, sometimes a bit desperate). Twisted it’s way to an abrupt and stripped down wrap up. A frustrating read, a YA novel for pretentious teens.
