Doughnut

This was enjoyable, but would have been excellent had it been 100 pages shorter. Clever only lasts for so long until it begins to grate on your nerves. I enjoyed popping into alternate realities, and not the constant fight between brothers which, as I saw it, had no background and did not make that much sense. That said, I can totally see Martin Freeman playing Theo in the movie and I would love to see another novel based in the sky world.

Fun. It's been two decades since I last read Holt, almost that long since I stopped looking for more books by him. What a treat to discover that he's writing again!

Doughnut is pretty much what I expected—deliciously so. Surreal, whimsical, charming, lighthearted, but also mature. I'm looking forward to catching up on the last ten years of Holt.
