There's hype, and then there's, I feel a little weird even thinking about it
Daniel Woodrell's novel Winter's Bone has been getting hyped. I learned about it a month ago form Tod Goldberg, who called it the best novel he's read this year. I can't say the same, myself; I've read Crime and Punishment this year, and that's pretty much a competition-killer. But I can say the book deserves hype. It's really good. Dark, quite dark. It's a compelling story with a fascinating lead character and setting and fine writing (with some great moments of writing throughout). But mostly it's just good. Painful, almost.
