Wolf in White Van by John DarnielleMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Meh. This book was on a list I picked up somewhere or other, but it didn't really do it for me. It was about a loner of a man who maintained a "choose-your-own-adventure" style game by mail after being disfigured by an "incident" as a child. His otherwise uneventful life is suddenly complicated when two of the players of his game are injured while playing it. I was drawn into the story at many junctures but ultimately just didn't like the main character enough to care what happened. The writing was fine, but the character development, while comprehensive, didn't create enough empathy for me.
