Review of 'Gilead' on 'Goodreads'

This book redefined lyrical prose for me. It is a rare example of a very unusual style of writing which enhances the story rather than detracting from it in a hey-look-at-me-I'm-a-WRITER way such as David Eggers.
The characters are real, the story is immediate. I felt like my imagination had been expanded by it.
A splendid book.
