David Arnold has a way with people. From The Electric Kingdom's opening line it is clear this is another eclectic, engaging collection of characters. I was swept into the cold New Hampshire night, zooming into different vehicles to catch a glimpse of life in everyday traffic jam. But, in Arnold's hands the ordinary can become extraordinary.

At first glance, Nico and Harry are protagonists I want to join in this strange post-apocalyptic world. If I had the book in my hands, I would settle into a cozy reading chair and spend the rest of the day lost in The Electric Kingdom.
