Review of Pretty Monsters

I was looking for some information on Kelly Link and her writing and came across this review of Pretty Monsters.

This review brought up some interesting points in Links writing. One of the most interesting was on Link's usage of plot in her stories. She seems to form her stories in such a way that the plot is rarely predictable and usually ends without much resolution. I agree with the reviewer, Amelia Beamer, in that The Surfer is one of her few stories with an actual plot that deviates from her usual structure or lack thereof. I really think that this review aptly compares and contrasts the structure and focus of Kelly Link's stories.
