4.0 out of 5 stars
Different type of murder mystery
"Natural History" offered a totally different reading experience. It was like 2 books in one; one printed on the even numbered pages and one printed on the odd numbered pages; one in a narrative style and the other in a newsprint/scrapbook type style (including pictures). The story is as much about family relations as it is about a murder mystery. As Billy Bray...

I hated it
I hated this book. Had to read it for class and half the time i wasn't really sure what was going on. I don't think that half the sentances were valid english. This book is just too far from the normal novel to be enjoyed or even understood. Last time i checked novels are suppose to be written in linear form...not all over the place

"Natural History" offered a totally different reading experience. It was like 2 books in one; one printed on the even numbered pages and one printed on the odd numbered pages; one in a narrative style and the other in a newsprint/scrapbook type style (including pictures). The story is as much about family relations as it is about a murder mystery. As Billy Bray uncovers more about the murder he slowly uncovers more of his family's secrets. The novel covers the family dynamics involved in unearthing the past.

This review is from: Natural History (Paperback)
World War II is winding down when detective Billy Bray is called in to investigate because a society tramp has killed a soldier. During his investigation Bray discovers a current of crime and sex that threatens to affect his Bridgeport, Irish family, which has enough of it's own problems and traumas to deal with. This book was hard for me to get into, but once I was there it was even harder for me to get out of. It's brilliant.
