Title: Original idea and wonderful writing
Review: I stumbled across this book in audio format while looking for something to occupy my mind during a long drive. What an amazing tour de force! Ridley's writing is crisp and evocative. In the darkest moments, he throws us a flash of sudden, ironic humor. Although he's following a long noir tradition, the plot line is fresh and original. "Brain Nigger Charlie" is convincing as a tortured soul descended from the middle class to the depths of hell. Without hitting the reader over the head, Ridley forces us to think deeply about alienation, responsibility, and the fragility of social class. The novel is only for those who can tolerate extreme violence, but Ridley - who also authored the screenplay for the funny and original Undercover Brother - is a fresh voice and I'm definitely going to be looking for more by him.
