I'm going with 3.5 stars rounded up for The Plot
How many definitions of the word Plot are there? This book utilizes it in every imaginable way and there was something that struck my fancy and I enjoyed the play on the word.
I would also totally read Crib the novel that our main character Jacob Finch Bonner wrote after picking up (stealing) the plot idea from a pompous former MFA residency student that he briefly worked with and has since passed away.
When Crib takes off in popularity, Jacob seems to be feeling very guilty over the whole scenario and as such very anxious to be found out. When he starts getting mysterious notes the anxiety and fear creeps higher and higher.
The book was a slow burn of a read that I was completely engrossed in and enjoying. Then I figured out where the story was heading and the story lost some steam in my mind and I found myself ready for the wrap up and conclusion.
