Good Fences is one of the most unique books I've had the pleasure of reading in recent memory. It also has the distinction of being one of the best. A near future setting, an agoraphobic, unwanted yet unavoidable guests and illegal activity make for a tense, gripping read.Despite the fact that this is a relativity short novella, all of the characters are well drawn and completely three-dimensional. There's not a caricature or poorly developed character to be seen. All are believably written and well motivated, as well. These could very well be the people in your neighborhood.I found the glimpses into Morris' panic filled world enthralling. I was supposed to be meeting a friend for lunch, and I thought I'd read in my car for a few minutes before she got there. But I was so engrossed in the story, she had to call me to remind me to come inside and eat. I was utterly enthralled, and I can't wait for the next novel set in this world.
