River of Teeth [book]
YOU KNOW THAT THING THEY WERE GONNA DO IN THE 1800S WITH PUTTING HIPPOS IN THE LOUISIANA SWAMPS TO CLEAR OUT THE WEEDS AND MAKE MEAT? THIS IS A BOOK ON IF THEY DID THAT, AND THE ANSWER IS IT'D BE EXACTLY LIKE A BASIC COWBOY STORY BUT ALL THE COWBOYS WOULD RIDE HIPPOS. AND THAT IS NEAT AND I LIKED THIS BOOK BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT BOOKS AREN'T A VISUAL MEDIUM, SO THIS IS JUST KINDA A REGULAR COWBOY STORY LIKE 90% OF THE TIME AND YOU JUST HAVE TO REMEMBER "OH, THEY ARE ALSO RIDING A HIPPOPOTAMUS" WHICH IS COOL, BUT LIKE, YOU COULD DO THAT TO LITERALLY ANY COWBOY STORY, YOU COULD JUST HAVE THIS BOOK FOR FREE BY TAKING A COWBOY BOOK YOU ALREADY OWN AND READING THE WHOLE THING IMAGINING THEY WERE RIDING A HIPPO.
PS. ALSO ALL THE CHARACTERS WERE SUPER DIVERSE BUT SOMETHING ABOUT THE WRITING MADE EVERYONE BLEND TOGETHER IN MY MIND. SO I KEPT FORGETTING WHO EVERYONE WAS, DESPITE PEOPLE HAVING EXTENSIVE SETS OF TRAITS SO THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON WHY I SHOULD CONFUSE THE TRANSGENDER HIPPO RANCHER WITH A ONE OF A KIND STEALTH BATTLE HIPPO WITH THE PLUS SIZED FEMME FATALE THIEF THAT USES PREJUDICE AGAINST THEIR WEIGHT TO HIDE THEIR NIMBLE FINGERS. BUT NOPE. I THINK BASICALLY EVERYTHING ABOUT THE SET UP THIS STORY WAS REALLY REALLY GOOD THEN THE ACTUAL STORY WAS REALLY MINIMAL EFFORT. LIKE THE SETTING AND THE CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS IS THE WHOLE APPEAL OF THE BOOK (AND THE HORRID TITLE), THE ACTUAL STORY IS JUST AN AFTERTHOUGHT.
