Geek Love By: Katherine Dunn
fiction: 348 pages
Book Count: 53
I first picked out this book as an audio-book for a trip. The back cover made it sound like a book about a carnivel family that try to have children that were freaks (the freak show type, not just odd people). I didn't get to the audio-book, but read the paper book. The back cover didn't cover the story at all. First, it was told years later by one of the kids. Half the story is her life at the time dealing with her mother that doesn't remember her after her years of drug use and experimitation to creat freak children and with her daughter that was raised in an orphanage because she was too normal, who doesn't know that her mother is the abino hunchback dwarf in her apartment building. The rest of the book is about her life in the carnival from when she was very little until her current life started. It is an unusual book, due to the supject.
