Note |
| 11.15.08 | I'd imagine it's pretty hard to follow up on a breakout hit. This is not The Night Gardener but it's defintiely a Pelecanos book. It's pretty light on plot but - as always - very nuanced with character and rigid with Pelecanos' direct style and point of view. I wouldn't say this is the first book of his I'd recommend to others (that's turned out to be Shoedog) but it's definitely one I enjoyed quite a bit. It fits well with his other non-serial books and -again, as always - manages to go from sluggish whats-going-on-here to frantic page turning with little to no effort. |
