I enjoyed The Question: Do Some Things Just Happen? by Greg Siofer and, despite it being on the short side, it is by no means lacking as a book. The story was engaging and interesting with likable characters that have you laughing at their antics. Nairb and his wife Grace are both ordinary people and so I found it quite amusing to see how they handled every strange occurrence that was plaguing their lives. In the same breath, there are also darker elements to the story with a bit of mystery thrown in as well. The constant eerie feeling lurking in the background is palpable as you try to guess who is after Nairb. The book was beautifully written with a good plotline and even better characters. I found myself breezing through this book and looking forward to the next.
