"The Water Dancer" has made it onto my short list of favorite books ever. The story is gripping -- an alternate view of the world of slavery from an author who is well-versed in the super-hero genre -- and this is one of the few times that a "magical realism"-type novel has really worked for me. Also, I found it a very slow read, but only because I kept stopping and rereading a paragraph three or four times to savor the beauty of Coates' prose.
I've lent the book to friends, who also loved it, and anticipate sitting down with it for a second read soon.
