One great benefit of working in a library is that you can be exposed to a wide range of books without having to spend much time or money on them.  In the case, of Orion You Came and You Took All My Marbles, that’s a good thing.

I’d like to hear from anyone who has read the novel, because I couldn’t get past the first twenty pages.  “Beautifully, madly, electrically alive,” claims one of the blurbs over on the cover, however, it seemed manic and over the top.  Mainly, it was the narrator’s voice that grated on me.  Overall, this seems like one to skip.

Read some Q&A with Kira Henehan if you’re interested in the novel.
