Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance

*4.5 stars. I wanted to give this wonderful, quirky tale 5 stars. It's full of beauty and exquisite characters. Just one section toward the end kept it from that - that section just seemed to have a tonal shift that was off from the rest of the novel. It only lasted for about 40 pages or so, but was enough to hold me back from a perfect score. Still, what a fantastic book and one I will be recommending.
