A to Z ~ Zod Wallop




This year my A to Z theme harks back to 2012's theme, in which I listed an A-to-Z of books from my GoodReads "TBR" shelf. This year I want to revisit that list and report on which ones I've read, and what rating I gave them. Where the book hasn't been read, I'll mention other books starting with that letter I have read since 2012. ;)

"Z" ... ZOD WALLOP

A-Z ... ZOD WALLOP





It's here! The last day of the A-Z has come. If you've managed to get through this year's challenge, well done you! I will definitely write a summary of my experience of the challenge once it's May 7th, but for now I've got one more letter to tackle! This year, I've been putting up an A to Z of books that are on my TBR list. Some are classics, some nobody has heard of. Turns out I didn't have book titles for all the letters of the alphabet on my to-read list before April this year, so I had to go out and find some. That's how I found the book I've chosen for "Z". I'm talking about this one:






Z


Zod Wallop - William Browning Spencer

"A bizarre and frightening dark fantasy, startlingly original and unpredictable. The book that a children's author wrote after his daughter drowned becomes real as his life intertwines with mental patients who have been given a drug with ESP effects. And it goes on from there. Written in a fast-paced, economical style, it is equal parts modern paranoia and resignation, satire, and moral lesson." - GoodReads review by Enisform


Why do I want to read it? It sounds so weird and dark and cooool that I can't resist. I hear it has a relatively happy ending, so I guess we don't have to be scared off by the sound of the weirdness. But I'll let you know what I think after I've read it. ;)
