 Not only is Hounded and incredibly entertaining fusion of Celtic myth and present-day American culture, but I absolutely adore the story's lighthearted exuberance. From the moment I saw the dedication page ("Look, Mom, I made this! Can we put it on the fridge?"), I knew this book was going to be fantastic. Hearne gives a pronunciation guide, but notes that "readers are free to pronounce the book however they see fit. It's supposed to be a good time, so I do not wish to steal anyone's marshmallows by telling them they're 'saying it wrong'." Hearne so clearly has an awesomely down-to-earth attitude about writing that I knew, before I even hit chapter one, that I was going to love this book. 
 ...And that's all I'm going to post here. 
 The rest of my (rather verbose) review is posted over here at Booklikes. 
 Why? Because I strongly disapprove of GoodReads' new policy of censorship. (The link brings you to a summary--with plenty of citations-- of The Story So Far.) 
 Note: I received this as an e-book from the publisher, Random House Publishing Group, via NetGalley.
