Jim Brown reviewed Strange Buildings by Jim Rion
Interesting,Dark Puzzles. But is there too much explanation?
This is my first time reading one of these books (Strange Houses and Strange Pictures are lauded by most), so I'd be interested to know what fans of the series think. I like the conceit (floor plans with strange details that end up being linked to dark story lines), but the last quarter of the book is a detailed reveal of a large, overarching story. That last section started to feel a little tedious. Still, it was a fun read, and I'd consider reading the other two books.
