Review of 'Peaces' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I wish I could think of someone to recommend this to who might be able to read the whole thing without getting frustrated. Normally my inability to do so would automatically make it a three star book, but I found it so quirky, oddly unsettling, and often very funny that I just don't care. It's a unique reading experience, one I don't think many people would appreciate, but I'm very happy I stuck with it despite my initial doubts.
