Cuyahoga is the most creative book I’ve read in a long time. It is myth, fable and legend about the marriage of two cities on opposite banks of the Cuyahoga River. Being from that area in Ohio, I loved all the tongue in cheek humor about Ohio and Cleveland. And of course, the Cuyahoga River catches on fire even though the story is set in the 1890’s.

The characters are rich and vibrant, their actions unpredictable. But be aware the writing style is unusual to say the least and will take some getting used to. If you are from Cleveland or Ohio you will be sure to enjoy this crazy tale set in a familiar place.
