review 1: Saying something is bizarro tells me some things but still leaves me almost completely in the dark. There are so many different ways to do bizarro: funny, disgusting, violent, just plain weird, and so on. I look on this book as primarily surreal. There's weirdness, and quite wild weirdness at that, but there's something underneath...something that eludes easy grasping. Some bizarro is just fun and some resonates deeper. This definitely resonates deeper.
review 2: Probably my first experience with Bizarro, but had a really great time with it. Pierce's voice really grounds the narrative and gives it some genuine emotion, especially the last story Lantern Jaws, which was my favorite. There's a noted sadness to a lot of these stories, which elevates the fantastic s... moreituations. Almost like knowing a great dream is about to end. Something just out of reach. Also, it seems like there's a couple Oregon/Portland details that make it into these stories--surely a killer donut story could be made away from the vicinity of Voodoo Donuts, but would it be as good? less
